Macquarie strives to create and maintain an inclusive learning environment and a positive school climate where students, parents/carers and staff feel safe and have a strong sense of belonging. Students are encouraged to become responsible, self-disciplined and respectful of the rights of others. The school strives to develop in students, the ability to work as a member of a team as well as independently, to develop an appreciation of the worth of individual differences, and to develop the capacity to act as responsible citizens who care about others and their environment. Appropriate behaviour and good manners are always expected.

The school requests that parents inform the teacher or Principal when their child’s school progress or behaviour might be affected in some way by circumstances not known to the school (serious illness in family, altered family circumstances).

Teachers regularly monitor their programs to ensure positive behaviour outcomes for their students. When normal classroom strategies such as redirection through questioning have not resulted in appropriate behaviour choices, additional steps such as an in class break, time to self or co-regulate in another classroom or space, and support from the executive are implemented. Each child’s circumstances are unique and are compassionately considered.

Classroom code of conduct: At the beginning of the year each class develops a classroom code of conduct. These are displayed in classrooms and referred to regularly through classroom learning. The aim of the classroom code of conduct is to guide students to make consistent behavior choices in the classroom which they have agreed to at the start of the year.

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) is the flexible framework we follow at Macquarie to create an environment that enhances student learning and wellbeing. For more information:
