School Behaviour Support and Management Plan
Dural Public School Behaviour Support and Management plan
Overview
Dural Public School is committed to explicitly teaching and modelling positive behaviour and to supporting all students to be engaged with their learning. Dural Public School endeavors to promote, for all students and staff, a healthy, safe, ordered, supportive, secure and caring environment, which is conducive to teaching and learning. We aim to help students to become self-directed, life-long learners who can create a positive future for themselves and for the wider community. Schools need to establish clear guidelines and expectations regarding the rights and responsibilities and behaviors which are known and understood by all community members. At Dural Public School we believe that our school is a place where each student can learn and grow in confidence.
Student welfare encompasses everything that the school community does to meet the personal and social needs of the students and to enhance their wellbeing. It involves recognising, valuing and developing each student as a total and unique person in the context of society. Student wellbeing is enhanced when all members of the school community participate in the learning programs and life of the school.
Our goal is to inspire every child to participate positively within the school community and beyond. We focus on promoting excellence, opportunity and success for every student, every day. We value and strive to develop safe, respectful learners in a caring learning community.
High expectations for student behaviour are established and maintained through effective role modelling, explicit teaching and planned responses.
To achieve our mission, key programs prioritised and valued by the staff and school community are:
Positive Behaviour for Learning
These programs prioritise social and emotional learning which supports good mental health, positive relationships and supports the prevention of bullying.
Dural Public School rejects all forms of bullying, including online (or cyber) bullying by maintaining a commitment to providing a safe, inclusive and respectful learning community that promotes students’ wellbeing. Staff are committed to establishing evidence-based approaches and strategies that promote a positive climate where bullying is less likely to occur.
All members of the school community are active participants in building a welcoming school culture that values diversity and fosters positive relationships. A key component of a supportive school culture is building respectful relationships and an ethos that bullying is not accepted, in both online and offline environments. School staff actively respond to student bullying behaviour.
Partnership with Parents and Carers
Dural Public School will partner with parents/carers in establishing expectations for engagement in developing and implementing student behaviour management and antibullying strategies by:
- Inviting parent/carer and student feedback through formal and informal means, such as DoE surveys, school surveys and consulting with the P&C.
- Using concerns raised through complaints procedures to review school systems, data and practices.
