Introducing our new School Values & Expectations. In 2022 we reviewed our school rules to ensure they are visible and easy to follow across the whole school. Staff, students and families had the opportunity to respond to a survey which was used to derive our 6 new values and expectations: Tolerance, Humility, Determination, Commitment, Trust and Respect.
We have also derived an anti bullying campaign: Have you been a STAR?
We are encouraging our students to use the acronym STAR when they come across behaviour that may be upsetting or hurtful to them.
S = Stop
Students are to:
- Take a breath or count to 10
- Tell the other person to stop calmly
If you are asked to stop:
- You need to stop what you are doing
- Take a deep breath
T = Talk
Students are to:
-
Tell them you don’t like what they’re doing and explain why. You might even put your hand up and say ‘stop please, I need a break’
If you are asked to stop
-
Listen respectfully
A = Action
You are to take action by:
-
Walking away
Remember that walking away removes attention from the behaviour
R = Report
If the behaviour continues and students have already stopped, talked and acted then they will need to report to:
-
A teacher on duty in an orange vest.
