School Wide Positive Behaviour Support
Behaviour Management at St John's
What is school wide positive behaviour?
It is a clear set of expectation for all students regarding their behaviour. It's how St John's teaches specific behaviours, expectations and consequences to all students. It is a proactive approach to managing student behaviour as the focus is on achieving and maintaining positive behaviours, interactions and relationships. The key elements are:
- Respect for Self
- Respect for Others
- Respect for Others
How does it work?
St John's creates predictable environments that are effective for achieving social and academic goals. The key to successful behaviour management is prevention. Students are taught what is expected, and a consistent set of rules and expectations are applied and positive behaviour is rewarded. The majority of students following this method are successful.
Expected behaviour at St John's
Our core expectations at St John's are: Respect Self, Respect Others and Respect Property - our 3 R's. To build positive relationships with others, we first must respect ourselves. When we respect others, we can have successful and positive social interactions. By respecting our own, and shared property and the environment, we ensure we have a safe school and a sustainable future.
Parent involvement
Parents are integral to the successful implementation of school wide positive behaviour. At home, parents can use the same rules and expectations as the school as it results in a common language and unified approach. Parents can discuss these expectations at home with their children which assists in creating a consistent and predictable environment.
