Positive Behaviour
The Lakes South Morang College implements the Positive Behaviour framework. Through Positive Behaviour, schools implement evidence - based approaches to managing student behaviour support issues at the local community level. With an emphasis on data - based decision - making, the framework is evaluated regularly and practices are adjusted to make sure the process is achieving effective results for schools.
The purpose of implementing Positive Behaviour at The Lakes South Morang College is to:
• Embed common language and behavioural expectations for the whole school community.
• Provide a safe and orderly environment to enhance learning.
Use evidence based decision making using data.
•
• Provide a common teaching base in the form of a behavioural matrix.
• Embed a culture of positive behaviour through explicit teaching (as opposed to punishment)
“ If a child doesn ’ t know how to read, we teach. If a child doesn ’ t know how to swim, we teach. If a child doesn ’ t know how to multiply, we teach. If a child doesn ’ t know how to drive, we teach. If a child doesn ’ t know how to behave, we … teach? … punish? Why can ’ t we finish the last sentence as automatically as we do the others?"
T. Herner, 1998
