Student wellbeing

Recently I have received questions about the distribution of‘orange cards’. As per our Behaviour and Discipline Policy(June 2017) one of the methods we use to initially recordincidents at school has been the use of an incident reportform or an ‘orange card’. These cards are used simply torecord an issue that may require follow up from an assistantprincipal. The levels of behaviour are a way of, at a glance,having an indication of the severity of the incident which canhave an effect on the priority given to the follow up required.The assistant principals have a teaching load and their numberone focus is the teaching and learning of their own classes, sobased on the level of the incident they are able to plan theirresponsibilities to best meet the needs of the students. Whendealing with behaviour incidents a lot of time is spent on theinvestigation, questioning children involved to get to the bottomof what happened. Any action taken as a consequence of poorbehaviour decisions is aimed at supporting students to makebetter choices in the future. Reflections ask what happened,why, and then have a future focus. Therefore, getting ‘anorange card’ simply means that a child has been involvedin an incident that requires investigation. We generally recordthe names of all students involved, whether they are a victim,witness or involved. The information is collected as a recordthat we can use to analyse wellbeing in the school. We look forpatterns – in places, times, students involved etc. You will becontacted about more significant behaviour issues.

It is important that BHPS is a happy safe place for all children.Teachers investigate incidents as they are reported.Perspectives on what happened are often very different, but themessage is always that children make good choices, be kind toeach other and demonstrate the school values.

Bronze Awards

Congratulations to the Bronze Award recipients who receivedtheir badges on Tuesday this week.

Deputy Principal Report

The wait is over! On Monday letters will be emailed to eachof our families with details of how to set up the Sentral parentportal. As I am sure many of you are aware, technology cannotalways be predictable. I envisage each family being able toregister and access the portal without an issue however, ifyou do experience any difficulties feel free to email me. I willendeavour to assist you as soon as feasible.

Each term we provide open communication to our familiesregarding the content covered in class. This information aimsto encourage open dialogue between parents and childrenregarding their day. There are many times when a parent askstheir child what they did at school that day and the responseis a resounding, ‘nothing’. In an attempt to avoid this standardresponse you may like to rephrase the question. You couldtry asking them things such as, ‘what persuasive text are youreading in class at the moment?’ or ‘ What skill are you workingon in PE?’
