Every child has the right to learn and every teacher has the right to teach.
Lesson Plan: Using the Toilets Safety and Respectfully
Step 1: List Learning Intentions and Success Criteria
We are learning to:
-use the toilets in a quiet, safe and respectful manner
-use the toilet at appropriate times to maximise learning time
This will look like students:
-students using toilets during break times;
-going with their toilet buddy during class time
-asking permission before leaving the classroom
-respecting toilet facilities
-waiting for your toilet buddy quietly
Step 2: List a rationale for teaching the behaviour
Why is it important?
Holy Rosary School Values: Relationships, Respect, Resilience, Integrity, Kindness.
Holy Rosary School Expectations:Safety is our right. Learning is our responsibility. Respect is our way.
Step 3: Identify examples and non-examples of the desired behaviour
What would the behaviour look/sound like?
Examples

Toilet, flush, wash, dry, goodbye
Wait for a free cubicle or for my buddy quietly
Use toilet paper in ways that respect our environment
Respect other people’s right for privacy
Use one pump of liquid soap
One person in one cubicle at a time
Make sure the toilet has flushed thoroughly before leaving the cubicle

Using the quickest route without disturbing anyone else
During Breaks

During Learning Times
Asking the teacher permission to go to the toilet
Walking quietly and safely with a buddy straight to the toilet and straight back without loitering. This keeps us safe and doesn’t disturb other classes from learning
