S ECTION EIGHT : PASTORAL CARE AND W ELLBEING Student Welfare Policy

At St Francis of Assisi Regional Catholic Primary School, we believe that all students have the right to be educated in a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment. Teaching and learning strategies guide and promote positive values and attitudes relating to personal relationships, respect, responsibility and behaviour. Leadership opportunities are given to senior students through the Student Representative Council, Peer Support and Buddy Programs that contribute to the care of others in the school community. Our Pastoral Care Policy places significant emphasis on the development and recognition of positive behaviours that reflect Christian values. The school is committed to implementing restorative justice practices to enhance the wellbeing of students at St Francis of Assisi Regional Catholic Primary School Paddington. No changes were made to this policy this year. The full text of the School's Pastoral Care Policy may be accessed on the School's website or at the administration office. Discipline Policy

Corporal punishment is expressly prohibited in this School. The School does not sanction administration of corporal punishment by School persons and non-School persons, including parents, to enforce discipline in the School. St Francis of Assisi Regional Catholic Primary School's Discipline Policy is based on respect where the students' sense of security and self-respect can be nurtured and strengthened to build positive relationships within the community. At St Francis of Assisi School, practices that promote self-esteem, respect and responsibility are valued for the total development of each child.

The Archdiocese of Sydney has established an Anti-Bullying Policy which is implemented by our school and all systemic schools in the Archdiocese. It provides a framework for school communities to work together to prevent and address issues of student bullying, in order to build respectful relationships that respond effectively and sensitively to the needs of each person. Sydney Catholic Schools (SCS) monitors the implementation of this policy. The policy Annual School Report to the Community 2016

Page 14

was reviewed in August 2016 and no changes were made to the policy this year. The full text of the Anti-Bullying Policy may be accessed on the School’s website, the administration office or at the SCS website at this link. Complaints and Grievances Resolution Policy

The Archdiocese of Sydney has established a Resolution of Complaints Policy which is implemented by our school and all systemic schools in the Archdiocese. The rationale for the policy is that within the reality of the schooling experience, it is recognised that, from time to time, misunderstandings and differences of opinion will occur, and that these need to be resolved satisfactorily. Addressing such matters within a framework of dignity, respect and truth can provide powerful opportunities to model the love of Christ in the reality of our contemporary world. Sydney Catholic Schools (SCS) monitors the implementation of this policy. The policy was reviewed in December 2015 and no changes were made to the policy this year. The full text of the Resolution of Complaints Policy may be accessed on the School’s website, the administration office or at the SCS website at this link. Initiatives Promoting Respect and Responsibility

As a Franciscan School, our school rules are based on respect for ourselves, others, the environment and property. The Restorative Justice program promotes positive and responsible student behaviour through developing and maintaining relationships based on respect. It promotes an optimal learning environment and the development of a supportive and cooperative school community. Restorative Justice strategies provide a framework of management that moves away from the traditional response. As a Restorative School, St Francis of Assisi School believes in the Three R's - Relationships, Responsibility and Relevance. The Peer Support Program is dedicated to providing dynamic peer led groups, which foster the physical, social and mental wellbeing of young people and their community. The program includes a whole school approach to building and enhancing a positive school culture. The key underpinnings of the program incorporate a model of best practice for implementing and coordinating an effective and integrated program, curriculum and policy links, a needs analysis leading to an action plan, students' leadership training and opportunities to network with others. Annual School Report to the Community 2016

Page 15

Student leadership, senior leaders and the student representative council provides the opportunity to learn responsibility and to act accordingly. Respectful and responsible behaviour is acknowledged through class awards and student of the week awards. A significant aspect of promoting rights and responsibility is the awareness of those who do not have the same opportunity. By raising awareness we engage students in programs to support others where possible and appropriate.
