School Wide Positive Behaviours
Guiding Behaviour, Growing Community
At St Michael’s we aim to create a caring and supportive environment built on a foundation of connected relationships. This enables our learners to feel safe, regulated and valued, ensuring each student can focus on developing their knowledge and skills both personally and academically. Our staff work in partnership with all stakeholders to ensure the best support systems are in place for ALL students.
School Wide Positive Behaviours
In 2015, St Michael’s commenced a five-year framework called School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS). This framework is based on improving classroom and school climates, decreasing reactive management, maximising proactive management, improving support for students, and integrating academic and behaviour initiatives. It is a continuum of evidence-based interventions to improve the academic and behavioural outcomes for all students. SWPBS ensures all staff and students understand these school wide expectations, and that there is an explicit approach to behaviour management throughout the school.
At St Michael’s, our school wide, aka SMASH, expectations are:
- Stay Safe
- Make a Difference
- Act Responsibly
- Show Respect
- Help Others
Our SMASH expectations aim to offer a safe and harmonious environment for learning where it is recognised that we are responsible for our own actions. Parents/caregivers are encouraged to spend some time talking about these expectations with their children and how they might translate to the home environment. This will continue to make St Michael’s a safer and happier school for all.
Supporting All Students
For learning to take place we need to ensure that every child feels safe, happy and confident within themselves - and so a huge emphasis is placed on a strong wellbeing and support program that achieves just that!
Every Child Matters
Our entire teaching staff is dedicated to the detail and we want to ensure every child achieves to their own potential.
