During Monday’s whole school staff meeting members of the wellbeing team introduced a new tiered level of behaviour management being implemented at the College. This structured approach aims to foster a positive school environment, promote personal responsibility, and ensure a consistent and fair response to student behaviour. The tiered levels of behaviour system categorises student behaviour into different levels, each with specific expectations and corresponding interventions. This system helps address behavioural issues more effectively while supporting positive development.

Benefits of the Tiered Levels of Behaviour System

Promotes Positive Behaviour:
The system emphasises the importance of recognising and rewarding positive behaviour, creating a supportive and encouraging school a school culture that allows all students to Be. There. Best

Provides Clear Expectations:
Students understand what is expected of them at each level, which helps them make better choices and understand the consequences of their actions.

Ensures Consistency and Fairness:
The tiered approach ensures that behavioural issues are addressed consistently and fairly, with interventions tailored to the severity and frequency of the behaviour.

Enhances Support for Students:
By providing varying levels of support, the system ensures that all students, especially those with behavioural challenges, receive the help they need to succeed.

Your Role as Parents/Carers:
We believe that a strong partnership between the College and families is crucial for the success of this model. Once the model has been fully tested within our Damascus Community it will be published on our Website so you are aware of the expectations of all our students and what interventions will occur when required. As usual the focus of these interventions requires an agreed response and buy in from our families and carers.

• Stay Informed: Familiarise yourself with the tiered levels of behaviour and discuss them with your child.
• Communicate: Keep an open line of communication with your child’s teachers and school staff to stay updated on their progress.
• Reinforce Positive Behaviour: Encourage and reward positive behaviour at home to reinforce the school’s efforts.
• Support Interventions: If your student is involved in targeted or intensive interventions, work collaboratively with the school to support the intervention plans.
