Students are working with their teachers and support staff around the school to START RIGHT in 2023. This approach to starting our school year means we take the time to work with students to set up classes and learning for a positive year ahead. The work we do within our Start Right sessions allows teachers to get to know their students, for students to understand their own learning and get to know their class and teachers and other staff they may have supporting them.
Classes can collaboratively set expectations and high standards, rules, boundaries, create a sense of team and community and a learning environment that suits the students and the class. Teaching these expected values and behaviours allows everyone to start the year right and have a positive time while at school.
Teachers will be recognising students that demonstrate our school values and the statements of expected behaviours within our School Matrix and handing out Tokens. Throughout the year students will be able to ‘cash in’ their tokens for different rewards. We are working with classes to determine what the rewards may be for 2023.
