Our school made a very important decision to become a Restorative School. Our philosophy is about teaching our students that they are responsible for their own actions, to encourage engagement and build pride, respect and responsibility in each individual student. Our Student Engagement Plan (SEP) documents our goals towards building a positive and restorative school culture at Eastwood.

Watch the Real Schools introduction video by Adam Voight where he talks us through the school's SEP. We thank Adam for getting us started on our journey.

There are 5 types of restorative classroom circles we are developing at Eastwood. 

These include:

1. Check in circles (Wellbeing)

2. Check out circles (Reflection)

3. Preparation Circles (Preparing for an event or change)

4. Response circles (responding to an event or situation)

5. Learning circles (when introducing new content or curriculum to determine prior knowledge from students)
