School Behaviour Support and Management Plan
Overview
Liverpool Public School is committed to explicitly teaching and modelling positive behaviour and to supporting all students to be engaged with their learning.
Our vision embodies aspiration. It drives us to ensure our school is one that meets the needs of each individual student, so they leave our school with a strong foundation that sets them up to achieve now and into the future.
Our aim is to encourage every child to engage positively within the school community and beyond. We emphasise excellence, opportunity, and success for each student, every day. We are committed to cultivating safe and respectful learners within a nurturing educational environment.
Our daily practices are guided by the principles of positive behaviour support, trauma-informed approaches, inclusive practices, and social emotional learning. We set and uphold high expectations for student behaviour through effective role modelling, explicit instruction, and well-planned responses. Resources are strategically allocated based on a solid understanding of our needs and priorities.
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.
