Hello Everyone,
Last weeks special assembly for the presentation of an award for excellence by the
Director General of Education, Sharyn ONeill, certainly left us all feeling very proud of the
Mount Lockyer school and community.
The positive attention to our school continues this Friday when we will be visited by the
Minister for Education, Peter Collier. It certainly is wonderful to have this level of
recognition for the work done by staff, students and families.

Values
Each fortnight we focus on a value that guides students to embrace and demonstrate
qualities that make our school and community the best they can be. Last week a group of
Year 4 girls showed caring, compassion, cooperation, enthusiasm, generosity,
kindness, perseverance, service and unity to raise funds for the RSPCA. The girls
made cupcakes, muffins and biscuits, and raised a great total of $460.00. Congratulations
to the girls and their parents who helped out. The funds raised will be presented to a
representative of the RSPCA at this Thursdays assembly.
Protective Behaviours
We are so lucky to have Liz Grixti doing Protective Behaviours with classes, teaching
children that they are the boss of their bodies. Liz has been asked to do some information
sessions for parents so they can reinforce the messages at home. To get an idea of
numbers and preferred times, please return the tear-off at the bottom of this page.
Assembly
Room 13 will be performing at Thursdays assembly. We hope to see many of you there.

MANAGING STUDENT BEHAVIOUR

WHAT IS BULLYING?

The key to this approach is that the child is given a choice at each step to
follow directions or face increased consequences.
Students making GOOD CHOICES are acknowledged for their efforts.
For students making POOR CHOICES the following consequences
apply ~

Bullying is when a student or group


keep picking on another student. They
try to hurt them physically or
emotionally.
The
behaviour
is
deliberate and repeated.

STEP 1
Student refuses to follow directions.
Verbal warning.
STEP 2
Student still refuses to follow directionsIn-class consequence e.g. Time Out
STEP 3
Student still refuses to follow directionsOut-of-class consequence e.g. Buddy
Class.
STEP 4
Student still refuses to follow directionsRED CARD is sent to the office.
Parents will be requested to attend
school.

SUSPENSION
Students will be immediately
suspended for verbal abuse of
staff and/or violence towards
staff or students.

RE-ENTRY FOLLOWING
SUSPENSION
Students returning from
suspension must be
accompanied by an adult and
will attend the Intervention
Centre (Room 20) where an
Individual Behaviour
Management Plan will be
developed and implemented.

A fight or disagreement between


equal students is not bullying.
HOW TO STOP BULLYING

ask for help. Both victim and

and supported.
Do not be a by-stander; if you
