The following are REPS policies in relation to Student Behaviour Support and Management:
Ryde East Public School's Behaviour Support and Management Plan
At Ryde East Public School, we are committed to fostering excellence, equity and inclusiveness within a safe and respectful school environment. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based educational practices and high-quality teaching, endeavouring to meet the needs of all students. We implement innovative strategies that prioritise both wellbeing and academic success, while also nurturing genuine partnerships with all members of our diverse school community.
We recognise the importance of positive relationships with parents and carers in enhancing student engagement, progress and achievement. Our overarching goal is to inspire every child to contribute positively to our school community and beyond. Our daily practices are guided by principles of positive behaviour support, trauma-informed care, inclusive practices and social/emotional learning. We establish and uphold high expectations for student behaviour through effective role modelling and explicit instruction.
The Ryde East Public School Anti-bullying Plan
The Anti-bullying Plan outlines how we will prevent and/or address bullying behaviour if this occurs.
Our Student Engagement Plan
The Student Engagement Plan outlines the steps in which staff will work with students if there has been an incident or re-directing of behaviour is required. This is a restorative approach.
Behaviour Code for Students
The Behaviour Code for Students is a document produced by the Department of Education which sets out the expectations of students who attend a NSW public school.
Attendance and absences
Students must attend school regularly so they can achieve their educational best and increase their career and life options.
In NSW, all children from the age of 6 are legally required to attend school or be registered for home schooling through the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA). All students must complete Year 10, or its equivalent and remain in school, employment or training until they turn 17.
