Our school prides itself on ensuring that the children understand the behaviour matrix.
The behaviour matrix is integrated into classrooms on a weekly basis. It serves as a reference when challenges arise and encompasses actions that are attainable for all students.
The behaviour Matrix supports behaviour management at KDPS.
When required KDPS’ approach is based on the restorative process, which is respectful and fair and focuses on:
- Establishing trust and safety between people
- Developing empathy
- Providing time for personal reflection
- Repairing harm that may have been done.
- Providing accountability and ownership
- Positive behaviour change.
We adhere to a whole school behaviour matrix which displays behaviour expectations at school. When a student makes an unexpected choice, we provide students with the opportunity to get back on track by offering a calm space to regulate, discuss, reflect and return to class.
