Behavior management

Teachers use a variety of behaviour management strategies in their classrooms, focusing on reinforcing positive behaviours for learning. Teachers share these with you at our Meet the Teacher evenings at the start of each year and through class newsletters throughout the year.

Some of the main elements of our Behaviour Management systems are:

• There is a strong emphasis on reinforcing good behaviour. Children will be rewarded for appropriate behaviour.  Class teachers will decide with their students what sort of rewards will be used.
• Each class has a small number of very basic Class Rules. There are a number of ‘consequences’ for children who do not follow the class rules. Parents are involved early in cases where children are having difficulty following the rules.  There are also a number of School Rules to indicate the expectations we have of children’s behaviour in the playground.
• In the first instance please contact your child’s class teacher if you have concerns about behaviour.
• Good communication between parents and teachers is an important aspect in helping children to learn appropriate behaviour.
• The Syndicate Team Leaders, Deputy Principals, and the Principal are also available to help with behaviour management matters.
