"While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about"

Angela Schwindt

Behaviour Management
 
The behaviour of our students is a large part of the reason they are with us at Fairways School. Therefore a full staff consultation was carried out culminating in a very worthwhile day to summarise findings and construct the final policy to be used within the school.

The management of behaviour within our school has to reflect the behaviours on display and indeed, those which are likely to be displayed in the future. The key is not to be caught up in personal conflict with individuals, but rather see the behaviours as exactly that. The student displaying the behaviour is not entirely at fault, neither are they entirely blameless. Our task through this policy is to educate them in the ways of controlling those behaviours and in fact displaying clearly where the ‘boundaries’ are, and how they should contain themselves within them.

‘It is the behaviour and not the child which is at fault’


All staff working within the school must be aware of what our students have been through on their relatively short but eventful journeys through life to date. We will compound those problems, and indeed ‘set them up to fail’ in their future lives, if we were not to tackle the behaviours which are in fact the manifestation of those experiences.This policy has been designed to be as simplistic as possible for both ease of enforcement, and, more importantly, to make it as easy to understand for our students as possible. Therefore a clearly defined three tier system has been built.
