Behaviour Management

Our belief

All individuals and groups working on the school site should be encouraged to take greater responsibility for behaviour which adds to the effectiveness of the learning community Korobosea International School. The following principles apply on our school site:
 

1. All behaviour is a response to the environment or a situation.
    

2. Behaviour should be managed by values and problem solving rather than rules and control.
    

3. Bullying and violence is often initiated by the words people use.
    

4. The learning community Koroboro will be one of peacefulness, problem solving, acceptance of diversity and commitment to the goals of the school.
    

5. Clear processes will be in place to support students, staff and parents who can not yet contribute to our learning community in a disciplined and constructive manner.
    

6. School rules will arise from collaborative discussion of rights and responsibilities.

Actions

1. All members of the school community will be aware of and encouraged to use the KoroBoro 'High Five' approach.
    

2. A system of 'Peer Support' will operate across the site.
    

3. Classroom rules developed collaboratively with the teacher and students will be visible in every classroom. These rules will have been developed after examining the rights and responsibilities of the teacher and the students.
    

4. A set of school rules will be developed in 2005.
    

5. Over 2005 CANTER will be phased out and replaced with a system which encourages students to take greater responsibility for personal behaviour.
    

6. Regular surveys of bullying and behaviour will be conducted by senior management.
