Behaviour Overview

What are we trying to do?

We want every member of the school community to know what behaviour is expected of them while they are part of Carterton School.

We want every child to know exactly what will happen if they break a rule.

We want a consistent, firm and fair policy.

Rationale

• Children, staff and visitors have a right to enjoy their days at school and learn in a safe, secure and happy environment.

• Children will learn best in an environment which is positive, warm, open, encouraging and non-threatening.

• Children, staff and parents need to be responsible for themselves, each other, their school, their property and their environment.

• Pupils have a right to expect firm, fair and consistent treatment from school staff.

• School staff have the right to expect and obtain standards of appropriate behaviour from pupils.

• Staff and pupils have the right to have such expectations supported by the principal, parents, Board of Trustees, and colleagues. 

If students keep the rules they will ...

• Feel good about themselves.

• Feel good about their school.

• Know that others feel good about them.
