All staff at Heatley State School are committed to creating the conditions so that every day, in every classroom, every student is learning and achieving in quality ways. We believe that all children can learn and achieve to higher levels.
Our whole school behaviour management focus is on creating a positive culture for learning, based on the principles of Positive Behaviour for Learning.
We also use Reboot - success in learning and life to assist in teaching our students to deal with the 'speedbumps' they will encounter on the way to success. Checking in with students is a regular part of the daily program.
It is vital that all members of the school community openly communicate to ensure we can understand each other's perspectives. Parents are actively encouraged to come in and meet with their child's teacher to discuss issues - and should not wait for the school to call first. To get quality time with the teacher, it is best to make an appointment.
We recognise that parents know their own children best and the more information the school has, the greater chance we have to help the student achieve to their potential.
It takes a village to raise a child and a home-school partnership is the ideal for this situation. So please don’t wait for the mole hill to turn into a mountain and you and your child/children have become too distressed. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we find out, the sooner we can do something. Contact us.
