School Rules

At St John's there are 4 school rules that we expect the children to follow and uphold:

1. Be Responsible

2. Be Respectful

3. Be Safe

4. Be Organised

We are RESPECTFUL learners when we:

* are kind to others

* do what we are asked to do straight away

* speak nicely

* listen when someone else is talking

* remember to use our manners

We are RESPONSIBLE learners when we:

* try our best with our school work

* think before we do something

* look after our belongings

* put rubbish in the right bins

* follow the 5L's for great listening

We are ORGANISED learners when we:

* remember to bring everything we need

* zip our bags up

* pack things away neatly and in the right places

* finish all our work

* remember to go to the toilet at play time

We are SAFE learners when we:

* walk around the learning space

* remember to use the High Five Strategy

* sit on our chairs properly

* push our chairs under our tables

* wear our hats outside 

THE HIGH FIVE STRATEGY

We also have a Hi-Five Strategy that we teach the children

to help them through a conflict at school, be it in the classroom, or on the playground.

If someone is doing or saying something we don't like, we:

1. Speak firmly

2. Say "STOP!"

3. Say "I don't like what you're doing"

4. Walk away

5. Tell the teacher IF the person won't stop
