Term 1 Week 10                                

Our current fortnightly focus has been how students can be safe, respectful and responsible at Church. Students were able to model the school rules at Church on Wednesday when attending Stations of the Cross. 

Over the last 5 weeks, students have been working very hard to receive tokens from teachers. At the commencement of Week 6 each class chose a number of tokens to work towards and a reward. Students receive tokens when teachers can see them modelling positive behaviours. 

 This term, teachers have familiarised themselves with a new Correction Sequence Flowchart. This flowchart is used when students exhibit a behaviour. When a child exhibits a behaviour teachers have a conversation with a child and a consequence is given. At times, you may be contacted by a member of staff informing you of your child’s behaviour. Parents and carers are a child’s first and most important teacher. 

When the teacher has a conversation with your child, they use the principles of Restorative Justice, which aims to make a situation right by restoring relationships. The following questions are used and may support you when you are having a conversation with your child:

1. What happened? 
2. What were you thinking about at the time?
3. Who has been affected by what happened?
4. In what way have they/you been affected?
5. If the same thing happened again, what would you do differently
