Clothing & Behaviour

Clothing

We do not have any special clothing requirements beyond expecting children to be clean, warm and tidy. Every day all children take part in some sport or fitness activity so it is a good idea to make sure they are not overdressed.

Lost property is kept in the cupboard outside the library. Please feel free to look here at any time for missing items. I am amazed at the amount of property children lose, at how few items are named and at how little effort most children put into finding clothes they have lost. Any lost property items not claimed by 4pm on the last day of each term will be donated to charity.

Sunhats: We request that children bring sunhats and sunscreen during summer. Children who do not have sunhats are directed to play in the shade.

Behaviour

We expect children to behave well, to work hard and to respect the rights of others. If a child has difficulty in keeping to these expectations, action is taken.

This does not involve hitting or humiliating the child. Rather it involves keeping a clear record of the number of times a child misbehaves.

Any behaviour that breaks agreed upon rules will require the child to attend a 'Behaviour Meeting' with the Principal where the incident will be discussed. This involves focussing on alternative actions and responsibilities. Any violent or extreme behaviour will warrant an immediate call home to organise a partnership to resolution with family. This has proven to be an excellent pathway to support students to think and consider appropriate behaviours for future.
