Behaviour Expectations
Our School wide expectation is that children will live out our College Street Competencies and Values in all aspects of school life, this includes Post School.
We focus on the School Values: Resilience, Kindness, Respect and Excellence as our Treaty for Post School.
Children earn our school Triple E cards for displaying these competencies and values at Post School. Twice per term, we hold a prize draw to celebrate this.
A consequence for children not being respectful or displaying our values at Post School will include:
Time out where they are to reflect on their behaviour and how it affects others.
Acting on and making it right.
Loss of privilege and exclusion from a chosen activity.
Parents will be kept informed as required.
For more serious behaviour the Deputy Principal or Principal will be involved.
Post School is a service we provide for our children’s after school care and we want to ensure that it is a safe and happy place for all.
