The school has a comprehensive policy to promote positive and appropriate behaviour.

A restorative justice approach is utilised where (after an incident), children meet with a staff member and the respective aspects of all involved parties are canvassed.

Bullying, is defined as an ongoing harassment, and comes in a variety of modes. We encourage the reporting of any untoward behaviour by children to staff on duty, classroom teachers, or to school administrators. We will always endeavour to bring involved parties together as per the restorative justice model.

The school administrators supervise Year One Play during all recreational breaks, (outside the Deputy Principal’s Office) together with a Detention Area “Blue Room” where children are directed for playground indiscretions.

Children who have issues in the playground (that duty staff are unable to immediately deal with), are sent to this area where they are counselled and may remain for the duration of the break.

A note is sent home when we consider the parent should be aware of the incident leading to detention. Children not complying with the No Hat / No Play Policy, are sent to the detention area where they are counselled and every endeavour is made to ensure a reoccurrence does not take place. We will not issue a ‘loan hat’.

Please remain open minded (objective) when listening to information brought home by your child (especially with respect to their behaviours). We encourage you to contact us as soon as possible if you require clarification of any incident involving your child.
