Student Behaviour & Wellbeing

Sunbury State School is a safe, respectful and disciplined learning community. We want every student to engage in high-quality learning and build the values and skills that support lifelong wellbeing. All members of our community uphold the Code of School Behaviour to ensure the best outcomes for students, staff and families.

Our Responsible Behaviour Plan

Our Responsible Behaviour Plan (PDF, 549KB) sets out how we:

• Teach and support positive behaviour and high expectations

• Respond clearly and consistently to inappropriate behaviour

• Keep learning focused so every student can participate positively

It also includes an expectations matrix that defines specific behaviours for classrooms, playgrounds and other settings.

Our four school rules

We teach and promote these school-wide expectations in every area of school life:

• Be Safe

• Be Responsible

• Be Respectful

• Apply Effort

How we put this into practice

• Explicit teaching of expectations and routines

• Positive recognition and celebration of success

• Consistent responses and fair consequences

• Supportive interventions to help students reset and succeed

• Partnerships with families to keep communication open and progress on track
