This section of our website will provide you with information about the behaviour management system we use at Carterton School. It is also available in booklet form.

Dear Parent or Caregiver,

We can assure you that when a behaviour issue is brought to our attention we always endeavour to get to the bottom of what has happened before giving consequences, as there is often more than one side to each story, or there could be special circumstances that have caused a child to behave in a certain way. It is important that children are honest and we encourage them to always tell us the truth, even if it means they know they could receive a negative consequence for their behaviour.

While our expectations are the same for all children in school there may be individual students or situations which require a different approach.

Our focus is to positively support, encourage and teach the students at Carterton School to behave appropriately. We have high and clear expectations so everyone knows what will happen if they chose to keep or break any of the school rules.

Most minor issues are dealt with in class, however communication between home and school is a key aspect of successful behaviour management and we encourage you to contact us if you ever need any clarification of what is happening.

We thank you for your support in helping Carterton School continue to be a great environment to learn and grow.
