Student Wellbeing
Student Welfare Policy
Purpose
Our Student Welfare and Discipline Policy is designed to enhance the
development of positive relationships between students, teachers,
parents and other members of the school community by providing a
positive, supportive and safe teaching and learning environment
where all students will:
- Develop a sense of
self worth and appreciate the worth of others.
- Be encouraged to
accept responsibility for their behaviour through positive
reinforcement and the teaching and learning of social skills.
- Develop in each
child an awareness that there are logical consequences for socially
unacceptable behaviour.
- Develop the ability
to live and work co-operatively, through understanding and valuing
individual differences and becoming more tolerant of others.
- Discover and develop
their potential in academic, creative, recreational and personal
activities.
We strive to develop
a positive school culture, where students feel a strong sense of
belonging and become confident and resilient.
