Rewards

The main emphasis of the Code of Behaviour will be on affirming good behaviour. It is recognised that the procedures will be time-consuming, but constantly reprimanding pupils is also time-consuming, and does not appear to produce the desired effect.

If pupils follow the rules, they may earn as: Individuals and as a Class

Sanctions

The entire focus of the Code of Behaviour is on encouraging a positive classroom climate and rewarding good behaviour. However, when a class rule is broken, there is a clear and unambiguous sequence of steps to be followed.

Other sanctions

  • Pupils who misbehave frequently may not be allowed to participate in school outings for their own safety and that of the other pupils.
  • Referral to Principal
  • Individual behaviour plan and report
