Behaviour
The latest Behaviour Policy can be found on the Policies Page (opens in a new tab)- Our Child-friendly behaviour policy, created by members of our School Council can be viewed here
The school’s policy on behaviour is rooted in the teachings of the Gospels.
All members of the school community are expected to treat each other with courtesy and respect. A community is a place where people should feel a sense of belonging. Jesus showed repeatedly that God wants to include everyone in His community. As followers of Jesus we are called to live this out in our work in school. This means it is our mission to ensure everyone succeeds and flourishes.
We employ a therapeutic approach to behaviour. Natural, educational or protective consequences are put in place as support to change behaviours overtime so that when children are ready we can complete restorative work to repair relationships. Every member of our community deserves to feel like they belong. And when a member falls short of our expectations, we see it as our role to help them meet those expectations the next time and the time after that.
Support from parents is essential. We believe that the role of parents is to ensure their children are able to live independently. The underlying principle should always be ‘What does my child need to be able to manage the challenges that life will bring them?’. It is our view that this is the most effective way to protect children: building resilience, helping them to master their own behaviours and developing empathy for others and for themselves. As parents, by allowing them to develop these skills, you set them up to succeed in life.
So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them – Matthew 7:12
