Student Management

The Quest to…

Develop every Queenstownian into an individual with self-discipline and good character.

Key Approaches

Promoting a safe and conducive environment that facilitates student learning and well-being through a positive and proactive approach:

Promote and Prevent

• Strong teacher-student relationships and quality instruction are at the centre of effective behaviour and classroom management.
• Challenging behaviours are prevented from occurring and disrupting learning through promoting a safe and supportive environment and a culture of care, strengthening protective factors, and mitigating risk factors.

Address and Correct

• Despite preventive measures, students may still display inappropriate behaviours due to various reasons.
• Addressing inappropriate behaviour promptly minimises disruptions to teaching and learning and correcting it ensures that students’ development and well-being will not be affected.
• Addressing the underlying reason(s) for inappropriate behaviour also results in sustainable behavioural change.

Replace and Restore

• The goal is for students to develop self-discipline and good character.
• Directing misbehaving students to replace their inappropriate behaviour with prosocial, appropriate ones.
• Restoring relationships with others hurt by their actions.
• Encouraging habit formation via consistent positive reinforcement of appropriate behaviour and peer support.
