The Amaroo PS Motto is - Industry Faith - Industry or 'to be industrious' refers to a person’s diligence, their devotion to a task, being able to work hard and their ability to 'get on with the job'. An interpretation of 'Faith' relates to being loyal, trusting, to believe in a set of standards or code of conduct and to have confidence or trust in people or a place. Each of these attributes work in two ways. Firstly is the aspiration of what every member of our school community can and should expect when at Amaroo.
Secondly is the role that every individual should aspire to, playing their part in making sure that 'Industry' and 'Faith' are not just words on a logo but real things at Amaroo. Our aim is to play a central role in our community through supporting high levels of academic, physical and social achievement. Amaroo PS provides a place where students have access to evidenced based, innovative programs.
