Responsible Behviour Plan for Students

(One page Summary)

Rationale

Chapel Hill State School ’s Responsible Behaviour Plan is designed to ensure our total school community (which includes teaching staff, non-teaching staff, students and parents) has a friendly, supportive and safe environment. Our agreed code of behaviour is based on the democratic values of respect, responsibility, equality and concern for the welfare, rights and dignity of all its members, regardless of race or belief.

Our purpose is to nurture and value individual differences enabling students to become effective and independent members of society, within the parameters of this plan.

Our school plan aligns with and supports the Code of School Behaviour. Our plan centres around positive behaviours throughout the school.

Targeted behaviour support

Chapel Hill State School has strategies and programs that facilitate acceptable standards of behaviour (sticker rewards, ribbons, student of the week awards, certificates etc) and provide educational support or intervention in responding to unacceptable or potentially unacceptable behaviour.

A developmental framework has been devised for whole school development of Val ues, Civics and Citizenship and Emotional Intelligence.

(The premise of our understanding is “We cannot leave the learning of values, emotional intelligence and social competence to chance”.)

 Consideration of individual circumstances

Consequences for breaking the rules or breaching the school’s Responsible Behaviour Plan for Studentsare applied. To ensure alignment with the Code of School Bahaviourwhen applying consequences, individual circumstances and actions of the student and the needs and rights of teh school community members will be considered at all times. In most case, every effort will be made to resolve/solve the issue at the classroom level.

Intensive behaviour support

 Chapel Hill State School also has access to specialists who can assist in intensive intervention, offer behaviour support processes and programs that respond to unacceptable behaviour which will support continued student learning engagement.

The network for support at Chapel Hill State School includes the involvement of a team of personnel and agencies. This network includes, but is not limited to:

  • School teaching and support staff

  • Support Teacher – Learning Difficulties

  • School administration

  • Parents

  • School Guidance Officer

  • District Senior Guidance Officer

  • Advisory Visiting Teacher – Behaviour
