Behaviour Management Plan

Moura State School
Behaviour Management Plan
2
Beliefs

• All behaviour is chosen and purposeful.
  Individuals choose behaviour that they believe
  will meet their needs
• All behaviour has natural or logical
  consequences. Experiencing consequences for
  chosen behaviours is an important learning tool.
• The school assists students to identify
  appropriate behaviours and support them to use
  new and unfamiliar behaviour in appropriate ways
• Everyone has rights and responsibilities in
  maintaining a supportive school environment
• Effective communication is essential between the
  home and school to cater for student needs

Bullying
38
At the beginning of each year and when necessary,
children are reminded of the schools policy
regarding bullying.
39

• The children are told to
• Tell the person to stop what they are doing. Tell
  them you do not like it and that you will report
  it to an adult if they do not stop it right away.

40

• If it continues, walk or run away. Go straight
  away and tell an adult. We have many adults on
  duty !

41

• If they cannot find an adult, they should report
  it to the Principal or the Teacher In Charge.

42

• If this was not possible, they should
  report it to their classroom teacher when they
  get back to class.

43

• If you stand there while someone is being a bully
  and do nothing about it, you are also doing the
  wrong thing !

44

• At no stage are you told to stick up for
  yourself If you do make physical contact with
  another child, you too are in the wrong and will
  be dealt with by the Principal.

45
Mouras Bullying Policy is separate from physical
and serious injury that is dealt with immediately
by the Principal.
