BEHAVIOUR
The Behaviour Management System provides the mechanisms for establishing a safe, secure and orderly environment in which effective teaching and learning can take place. It is a whole school approach that works to reinforce the rights and responsibilities of all members of the school community (students, parents and teachers) thereby ensuring positive interaction between all members of that community.
The system has drawn upon community practices and expectations in order to establish a code of conduct that addresses the roles of all members of Australind Senior High School’s community. It outlines a number of levels of support, management procedures and the provision of personnel resources as a means of facilitating the creation and maintenance of welcoming, safe and supportive learning environments. This system is one strategy to promote a positive learning environment. Other strategies that complement the system include the quality of the classroom climate, pastoral care, a relevant curriculum, anti harassment policies and acceptable conflict resolution.
The prime goal of this system remains to have members of the school community accept responsibility for their own behaviour and respect the rights of others. Students are encouraged to make choices and to accept the consequences of these choices. The outcome of this process is self-motivation and self-discipline
GOOD STANDING POLICY
Australind Senior High School has implemented a “Good Standing Policy” to encourage our students to prepare for the transition from School and ensure success in further education, training or employment.
The “Good Standing Policy” provides a system that assists in ensuring that students maintain a satisfactory level of attendance, course participation and behaviour. The “Good Standing Policy” does not replace the Behaviour Management Policy, but provides a specific framework or standard of behaviour expected from our students in order to maintain their “Good Standing” status.

What does it mean if Student’s lose their “Good Standing?”
Student’s who have lost “Good Standing” are ineligible to take part in non essential school activities during the period that they do not have “Good Standing”. This includes reward excursions, sports carnivals/ games, school ball/ dinner dance and country week etc…
Note Students who lose their “Good Standing” due to behaviour after the naming of the country week team can be excluded from the team at the discretion of the Principal.
