POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR FOR LEARNING

As a PBL (Positive Behaviour Learning) school LIHS rewards students who are respectful, responsible and resilient in every setting. PBL promotes positive behaviour in learning.

Our school values

RESPECT | RESPONSIBILITY | RESILIENCE

HAVE A POSITIVE APPROACH

SPEAK IN A POSITIVE MANNER

HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE

We show RESPECT by being tolerant and accepting of everyone, being polite and considerate of others, using appropriate language and wearing the school uniform.

We show RESPONSIBILITY by being at the right place, right time, staying on task in class and being prepared, following procedures and instructions including putting rubbish in the bin and caring for our surroundings.

We show RESILIENCE when we try our best, attempt new things, reflect on learning and keep trying in the face of adversity.

Follow the phone policy

PBL: Following procedures, safety guidelines and instructions

Students at LIHS have a RESPONSIBILITY to follow procedures, safety guidelines and instructions.

It is a student’s responsibility to be compliant in regards to school procedures, safety guidelines and instructions.

These include;

It is a student’s responsibility to be on time for class and arrive before the second bell in addition to lining up quietly, in two lines outside the door.
If a student is late, students must sign in. Year 7-10- sign in with your Deputy upstairs and Year 11-12- sign in downstairs with the office staff.
If you have permission from a parent or guardian to leave school early, you also must sign out at the office.
All students are to WALK their bikes, skateboards and scooters to the bike compound at the beginning of the day.
There is no student access to the staff carpark at any time.
Phones are not to be seen or used during class time and between periods. They are permitted during recess and lunch times.

Why is compliance important?

So others in the classroom aren’t distracted
So your peers can learn
So YOU can learn
Creates a less stressful environment for everyone
It is your responsibility as a student at LIHS
Prepares you for the workplace
