​Our school community has developed a plan for promoting and managing behaviour based on our shared belief that all members of our community have certain rights and responsibilities.  We believe in creating an environment that respects the following rights:

• The rights of all students to learn and teachers to teach;
• The right to be treated with respect;
• The rights of all to be safe.
  

Student Code of Conduct

The Student Code of Conduct clearly sets out expectations about staff responsibilities to support students to understand and meet discipline expectations of the school, and guidance on the application, where required, of disciplinary consequences. 

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL)

Regents Park State School is a Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) schoo, locally known as Positive Culture for Learning (PCL) and we are in the embedded phase for universal supports, and the implementing phase for targeted supports.  Collaboratively with our school wide community we have developed a STAR System based on our school values. Student behaviour is acknowledged verbally and non-verbally throughout the school day in both classroom and non-classroom areas. Students consistency in demonstrating the school values and STAR behaviour is rewarded with the receiving of STAR Pins and attending STAR Club at the end of each Term.  

 We acknowledge students demonstrating expected behaviours verbally and non-verbally.

•  In the classroom – we distribute STARS using a self-inking STAR stamp or paper STAR tokens when verbally acknowledging STAR behaviour 
• In the playground – we issue paper STAR tokens when verbally acknowledging STAR behaviour 
•  Stamps & tokens collected are transferred to STAR cards by the classroom teacher 

 Term 1 – Students are explicitly taught the STAR Expectations and how these look, sound and feel every day in the classroom and in the playground. STARs are distributed and earnt in this term for displaying expectations. Upon completion of 5 STAR Cards students are elibigle to participate in the STAR Club Activity.

Term 2 – Upon completion of 5 STAR Cards students are eligible to work towards their Bronze Pin. They are also eligible for the STAR Club Activity

Term 3 – Upon completion of 5 Star Cards students are eligible to work towards their Bronze and Silver Pins. They are also eligible for the STAR Club Activity.

Term 4 – Upon completion of 5 Star Cards students are eligible to work towards their Bronze, Silver and Gold Pins. They are also eligible for the STAR Club Activity.​

This plan aims to encourage responsible behaviour, self-control and social competency. This is a learned process and will be achieved through teaching appropriate strategies that enable children to use positive behaviours and through supporting them as they learn these skills. Children are able to develop positive relationships and are encouraged to make decisions and choices about their behaviour in order to meet their needs in the best possible way.

Our Student Code of Conduct 2022 - 2024 involves all areas of our school life. For those students who choose to display inappropriate behaviour, there will be appropriate consequences. When a child’s conduct becomes a concern to the school, we will contact parents to develop a combined behaviour management plan. If students cannot display appropriate behaviour and do not respect the rights of other students they may be suspended or excluded.
