Whole School Approach to Positive Behaviour at Mary MacKillop

All members of the school community have a significant role to play in supporting a whole school approach to positive behaviour. Where all members work collaboratively, each child and young person has the opportunity to fully participate, engage in the process of schooling and become a successful learner.

The characteristics of a whole school positive behaviour approach include:

• prevention
• instruction
• use of evidence based practices
•  utilising data for informed decision making

Our College is working with staff to examine our school-wide expectations. A positive behaviour approach supports teaching and learning environments so that the academic outcomes of students are maximised. This provides a structure and process for school

communities and classroom operations so that a positive social culture is established. We look forward to continuing to develop processes and routines with our College Community.

Our staff will strive to: 

• Build positive relationships
• Effectively communicate with students and parents
• Reinforce routines
• Actively supervise
• Encourage students to use spaces with care
