Safe & Positive Learning Environment

Commitment to a Safe and Positive Learning Environment

Safety and Respect for All

In alignment with our philosophy, we prioritize creating a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment for our school community. We recognize behaviour as a form of communication and respond supportively to guide students toward safer and more positive interactions.

Dress Code Policy

Students are expected to wear clothing that is appropriate for a primary school setting. Clothing must not display inappropriate language, images, or messages, including but not limited to:

• Profanity or offensive language

• References to drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or violence

• Inappropriate, discriminatory, or suggestive content

Students may be asked to change or wear a provided alternative if they wear clothing that does not meet these guidelines. Our goal is to maintain a safe, inclusive, and respectful learning environment for all students.

Social-Emotional Learning and Positive Play

Our non-punitive approach focuses on developing students' Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) skills, fostering Positive Play, Accountability, Relationship Repair, Kindness, and Connection. We aim for every student to thrive in cooperative play and learning settings.

Behaviour Management and Support

Approach to Behaviour

Our support system is designed to help students reflect on their actions, understand their impacts, and learn healthier ways of interacting. Through our SPARK Program and collaborative stakeholder involvement, we personalize support plans that promote positive social interactions and play.

Accountability and Relationship Repair

We emphasize accountability, respectful interactions, and the importance of repairing relationships. Students are given opportunities to make amends and improve their behaviour, reflecting our belief in personal growth and community safety.

Ensuring a Supportive Learning Environment

Continuous Support and Monitoring

Our structured behaviour support programs aim to reinforce the necessary skills for engaging safely and respectfully with others, underscoring our commitment to an inclusive environment where every student feels valued and supported.

Collaborative Engagement

Recognizing that developing positive behaviour is a shared responsibility, we encourage active participation from students, parents, and staff in fostering a culture of leadership, respect, and positive decision-making.
