What goes into the Yellow Recycling Bins?
These bins are general recycling bins. Clean paper and cardboard can be placed in these bins as can tin/aluminium foil. Soft plastics should NOT be put into these bins. Whatever you do put in there should be larger than a credit card.
Taking responsibility for the School environment by making sure that you put your rubbish in the correct place, and also that you put any stray rubbish in the correct place, will mean that everyone will have a school they can be proud of. A school that is clean, looks good and shows that we care for each others well being.
Speak Respectfully
Speak Respectfully
Speaking respectfully to teachers and peers is essential for a positive and supportive learning environment. Here’s why:
Respecting Teachers:
Learning: Teachers work hard to help us learn and grow. When we respect them, we create a better classroom experience.
Kindness: When we speak kindly to our classmates, we build friendships and trust.
Appreciation: Respectful words show that we appreciate their efforts.
Treating Peers Well:
Kindness: When we speak kindly to our classmates, we build friendships and trust.
Teamwork: Respectful communication helps us work together on group projects and activities.
Positive Atmosphere: A friendly class atmosphere makes learning more enjoyable.
Remember, respectful words and actions create a supportive community where everyone feels valued and heard.
What does SPEAKING RESPECTFULLY look like?
What does SPEAKING RESPECTFULLY look like?
At Kingsford Smith School SPEAKING RESPECTFULLY looks like:
If a person is speaking to you, you should stop what you are doing and face the person.
If you can't stop what you are doing, then let them know you have heard them and ask them to wait until you have finished doing whatever you are doing.
If it is culturally appropriate, you should look the person in the eyes when talking to them.
If you can't be heard without shouting it is a good idea to move to a quieter place before having the conversation.

What does SPEAKING RESPECTFULLY sound like?
Using a person's preferred name when addressing them.
Some teachers like to be called by their first name, other preferred to use the titles of Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms or Mx, sometimes it is OK to call a teacher "Sir" or "Miss".
If you don't know how to address a person, just ask.
Using preferred pronouns if they are known.
Using language that is appropriate for the school environment. Swearing and cursing is not socially accepted in workplaces (like school) or public places (like Kippax or Westfield Belconnen.)
The volume of your voice should be appropriate to your learning environment. It may be OK to yell on the oval during a PE lesson, it would not be OK to yell inside during a Maths lesson.
Don't forget, every social situation you will find yourself in has different rules around acceptable language. Just because you can say certain words at home or at footy training does not mean those words are OK for school.
When you are the speaker you need to use an appropriate tone to your voice that is loud enough in the situation to be heard.
Remember, before you speak THINK...
Is it TRUE?
Is it HELPFUL?
Is it INSPIRING?
Is it NECESSARY?
Is it KIND?
