Computer and Internet Policy
Connecting to the Internet requires a high level of awareness and responsibility; therefore, students will be required to sign a contract undertaking compliance with the school code of conduct.
The contract will be sent home for parents’ perusal at the beginning of Term 1.
Online safety and protocols are taught specifically as part of the Digital Technologies curriculum in addition to other learning areas where internet access is included.
Positive Behaviour Policy
The positive approach to behaviour management and inclusivity involves the following practices:
- Creating learning programs that are dynamic, meaningful, ensure success and are challenging – This includes differentiating curriculum planning to cater for individuals (this is the foundation of the inclusivity concept)
- Treating all students with respect and kindness
- Focus on learning attitudes and approaches
- Implementing positive reinforcement, certificates and prizes for exemplary practice in both social and learning behaviour, including a whole school celebration
