Code of School Behaviour

All students should have access to the best educational opportunities and outcomes possible. The Code of School Behaviour sets out a fair and consistent standard of behaviour for everyone (parents, students, staff) across all state schools. Schools provide a safe, supportive and disciplined learning environment in many ways, including: • inclusive and engaging curriculum and teaching • positive interpersonal relationships between staff, students and parents • fair, safe practices • non-discriminatory language and behaviours • reducing possible barriers to learning, especially for those most at risk • consideration and use of suspension and exclusion, only when all other approaches have been exhausted.

Statement of expectations

Our commitment is to ensure that every day, in every lesson, every student is learning and achieving within a safe, supportive and disciplined environment. To do this, everyone works together and adopts a whole-school approach to promote positive behaviour and learning The key principles for developing and maintaining a safe and supportive school environment are: • a whole school approach • school leadership • parent and community engagement • using data to inform decision making • clear and consistent expectations for behaviour • effective teaching.
