About Behaviour at Goondiwindi State Primary School,
we believe:
Staff and
students at Goondiwindi State Primary School have the right to work to their
potential, free from disruption, abuse or threat in a safe and supportive
environment. To enable this productive learning to occur, we believe different
learning styles and abilities must be catered for and appropriate behaviours
need to be taught, modelled, encouraged and developed.
As a staff
we believe that Positive Behaviour for Learning is the most appropriate
approach to use with students. We have
agreed to collaborate to consistently use this non-aversive approach at the
school. We know that no single strategy
will achieve positive outcomes for all students and, as a result, we have
adopted this multi-element approach. We
believe that our students respond best to positive reinforcement. Positive behaviours are established through
teaching new social skills in context while responding effectively to
problematic behaviours.
Self-discipline can be learned, but
only when all stakeholders are involved in accepting joint responsibility and
encouraging students to be accountable for their behaviour. Our school alone cannot effectively
discipline without the support of parents and the wider community. With the common goal of strengthening
relationships and encouraging a socially responsible attitude, in our students,
we can have a safe and supportive environment for the entire school community.
