Medium incidents are used to log behaviours that require more extensive follow up. Medium incidents are used to help us decide on appropriate interventions for student behaviour, these interventions can include restorative conversations, parent/carer meetings, lunchtime/after school detentions, and, in some rare cases, suspensions or expulsions.
Learning Coaches are the first point of contact for parents and carers to ask any questions or to raise concerns. You can expect your child ’ s Learning Coach to be one of the first people who contacts you to raise any concerns, celebrate successes or touch base about your young learner ’ s progress.
PARENT AND CARER INVOLVEMENT:
LEARNING COACHES:
We believe that parents and carers play a crucial role in supporting their young person to make positive choices at school. With that in mind we like to involve parents/ careee and work together with our student ’ s families to ensure positive outcomes after an incident. To that end, parents/carers may sometimes be asked into school to attend a meeting to discuss their young person with members of school staff. We do this for a number of reasons, we believe that clear, open and consistant lines of communication are important for young people to be successful at school, we may ask for parents and carers to help co - design student safety plans or alternate learning programs, and we may at times need to discuss how we can best support your young learner to reintergrate into the school after a suspension or extended time away . When students, teachers and parents/carers work together in partnership we see positive resolutions to issues and concerns.
In 2023 Learning Coaches have been assigned to all students on the Secondary Campus. Learning Coaches continue the previous role of Homegroup Teachers, checking in on the wellbeing, attendance and general behaviour of their students whilst adding in an academic component to their role. This year every secondary student at The Lakes has sat down with their Learning Coach to develop learning goals for the term. Learning Coaches check in with both the academic and wellbeing progress of their students regularly throughout the term. This ties into our commitment to developing learner agency, providing students with ownership over their own learning, academic level, progress, areas for improvement and a large say over their own short and long term academic goals.
