The Student Welfare Policy of Beverly Hills Public School provides the programs, structures and support to ensure that all students achieve high standards of self-discipline, personal conduct and social responsibility.
Introduction
Student Welfare encompasses everything the school community does to meet the needs of their students and to enhance their happiness and safety. It is reflected in the way we demonstrate care, ensure safety and provide opportunities for success and recognition of each student. The Student Welfare policy, procedures and programs of this school stress the value of prevention and early intervention.
At BHPS a number of life skills/pastoral care programs are incorporated under the banner of Student Welfare. These include:
A Social Skills/Values Education Program
DEAR/Peer Support
Child Protection
Drug Education
The Chaplaincy Program
In addition student leadership is encouraged through an active SRC which has K – 6 representation, the Read With A Peer (RAP) Program and through the use of senior students as Kindergarten Buddies.
Statement of Principles
The following policy is based on the above beliefs and the following principles:
1. Good behaviour is expected;
2. There are consequences for positive and negative behaviour;
3. There are levels of discipline; and
4. A standardised approach is used by all staff to reward positive behaviour and resolve problems that arise.
