“The neighbourhood environment is fundamental to success and
learning.... It is the atmosphere that exists in a room – a safe place
where students are comfortable exploring the academic world.”
University of Michigan – School of Education
“There is a growing consensus that whatever else is done schools must
also be places where it is easier for teachers and students to know one
another well and for students to connect with the school and its
purposes. Schools in other words must be caring and learning
communities.” (Sergiovanni 2000) Effective School are Engaging Schools –
Student Engagement Policy Guidelines
At Broadmeadows Valley Primary School, positive and responsible student behaviour
is essential to the smooth running of the school, to the achievement of optimal
learning opportunities and to the development of a supportive and cooperative
school environment.
We aim to build a safe and happy learning neighbourhood environment,
educating students to act responsibily and to make good choices.
We model, encourage and acknowledge positive behaviours whilst
responding to and managing students engaging in inappropriate behaviours.
We speak and act in a fair and respectful way to each other at all times.
All procedures and processes in the Broadmeadows Valley Classroom Management
Plan have been initiated, discussed and developed by staff with student and parent
consultation. These elements involve:
Creating a positive learning environment
Whole neighbourhood use of consistent well researched preventative
behaviour management approaches.
Following the behaviour management guidelines for student misbehaviour.
Student Wellbeing Coordinator to activate behaviour management plan
processes for serious or continued student misbehaviour breaches.
