Information:
Cohuna
Consolidated School
Student Code of Conduct:
Rationale:
Staff at Cohuna Consolidated School will strive to actively promote
resilience, pro-active behaviour and a self- determination for students
to do their personal best in all situations.
Aims:
The school is a positive environment in which all teachers assume
responsibility for student welfare, provide successful experiences
for all children, feel safe and secure in a supportive environment
and where a sense of belonging and wellbeing are strengthened. A
culture of positive reinforcement and encouragement will permeate
all facets of our school.
Implementation:
·
The school will adopt a proactive and strategic stance with issues
of student welfare, rather than operating in a consistently reactive
mode.
· Developing the wellbeing of our students is central to
our role as a school, and is reflected in our whole school philosophy.
· Student work and achievements will be regularly showcased
and publicly recognised.
· Our school will value and encourage student individuality,
differences and diversity, sharing, tolerance and compassion among
children.
· To develop pride in the school, opportunities for leadership
will be promoted through School Captains, House Captains, Bus Captains
and Junior School Council membership.
· Programs that provide for the emotional health of students,
such as ‘Buddies’, Transition, ‘You Can Do It’
Harm Minimisation, Preparation For Puberty, Solving the Jigsaw,
Tribes, Peer Support and Peer Mediation will underpin our curriculum.
· The curriculum will be broad, provide for the needs of
individual students, and be developed to cater for multiple intelligences.
· Through individual classrooms, programs will be developed
to cater for children identified with specific needs. This is done
through creating support groups, individual learning plans and ongoing
monitoring.
· The Well Being Team will consist of the Principal and Assistant
Principal and a staff representative, who will meet regularly and
discuss programs with classroom teachers.
· Strategies detailed in the ‘Framework for Student
Support Services in Victorian Government Schools’ will be
implemented across the school.
· The school will provide access to DE&T, regional and
network staff with wellbeing and/or welfare expertise as required.
· Staff will be provided with professional development regarding
student wellbeing, the implementation of wellbeing programs, and
the resolution of wellbeing issues.
