Our aim is to provide a safe, caring and consistent
environment based on the attributes of the learner profile. We encourage our students to be inquirers, caring, principled, risk-takers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, reflective, open-minded and balanced.
We believe that every student has the right to
feel safe, to learn to the best of their ability and to be treated
with dignity and respect. Children are taught to take
responsibility for their own actions and understand the
consequences of acceptable and unacceptable behavior. Children are
encouraged to respect themselves, others and their environment.
Throughout the school praise, positive reinforcement to highlight outstanding behavior.
In Middle School roles of responsibility such as class
representatives and student council encourage participation in the
process of creating a well behaved school. There is a
conduct system where teachers award points for behavior and
participation in every lesson taught. These points are recorded
and there are rewards for consistent good behavior.
Our policy reflects the fact that most students behave
appropriately and are rewarded accordingly. Our aim is to focus on
what students do well minimizing attention given to
'inappropriate' behavior.
For 'inappropriate' behavior there is a clear behavior route
with a defined structure for staff, parents and students. The
route starts with the classroom/homeroom teacher through to
principal's intervention and ending with the director's decision.
Parents are informed at all stages through emails, phone calls and
in person.
