Positive Behaviour for Learning at St. Mary's
At St. Mary’s Secondary School, we are committed to creating a positive, respectful and supportive learning environment where every student can thrive. Our Positive Behaviour for Learning approach promotes clear expectations that help foster a culture of kindness, responsibility and engagement across our school community.
Our classroom expectations are built around three simple principles:
Respectful
- Listen when others are speaking.
- Use kind words and a respectful tone.
- Follow the teacher's instructions.
Responsible
- Arrive on time.
- Keep our learning spaces clean and tidy.
- Take ownership of our actions.
Ready to Learn
- Bring everything we need for class.
- Participate actively and engage in learning.
- Always try our very best.
By working together, students, parents and staff help create a school environment where everyone feels welcomed, valued and supported. These expectations reflect our school ethos and our commitment to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed both academically and personally.
We encourage all members of our school community to support these positive behaviours every day.
