Our school rules are an integral part of our policy and reflect the values of respect, justice, tolerance and a clear understanding of the rights and responsibilities of students, parents and staff.

GUIDELINES:

1. Discipline at St Josephs is based on mutual respect and that everyone has the right to be treated justly.
2. At no time will students or staff employ physical means as a discipline measure.
3. A focus is placed on rewarding positive behaviours.
4. There are negative consequences attached to inappropriate behaviour. Playground behaviours deemed unacceptable by the duty teacher can result in the student being excluded from play.
5. Each class develops their own set of rules and consequences.
6. Our school behaviour management is an integral part of our Duty of Care responsibilities and is therefore the responsibility of all staff. Where assistance is required in disciplinary action the Principal and/or Assistant Principals will be involved in the process.

It is our aim to develop self discipline within each child. Rules are established to ensure the safety of children which will enable them to gain the maximum benefit and enjoyment from attending St Josephs Primary School.
