Student management

The school has a comprehensive Student Behaviour Management group of policies, and each Sub

School is supported by a Sub School Head. The Sub School Head and the Coordinators are critically

im portant in day-to-day student behaviour management. The Sub School Heads support the SRC and

Deputy Principal in the management of assemblies, and assist with subject counselling and class

allocations.

Students and staff observe the school's key values of Resilience, Optimism and Courage in the

co ntext of Creating Bright Futures. All students know the school's classroom expectations supported

through a restorative approach when things go wrong.

A Detention System operates f where staff share the supervision. In addition there is a program of

Yard Duty primarily to manage yard behaviour and minor misdemeanours.

Student Government - SC

An active and high profile Student Council is elected each year. This group is represented on a

number of school committees, including the Governing Council, and co nducts school assemblies. The

SC is active in providing additio nal facilities and amenities for students.

least fortnightly. A number of staff support their work directly. The presidents of the SC meet regularly

with the Principal to raise special issues and to seek information as to the schools day to day

organisation and running.
