Making Better Choices

Making Better Choices A positive behaviour approach


Introduction
At Comet Hill we want to have happy people able to go about the exciting task of growing and learning together.
We aim to produce positive behaviours in our school community.
Consistent application of agreed class and yard rules together with the appropriate consequences will help us to achieve this goal.
A close partnership with parents is also vital.
“Children spend close to half their waking hours in school and inevitably the experience of school will have the potential for positive and negative outcomes”
What matters is that we have a school environment where learning is central and in which all members of our school community can grow and they feel they belong.

We aim to enhance-

  • A sense of security & friendship.
  • Respectful relationships.
  • Pride through self achievement.
  • Participation in decision making.

The school has  a positive approach to behaviour. Students are encouraged to make the right choices and do the right thing.

  • Friendship
  • Security
  • Achievement
  • Participation

We aim to decrease-

  • Absenteeism
  • Bullying
  • Feeling of isolation or alienation
  • Centre for Adolescent Health, Gatehouse Project.
