At Officer Primary School, we integrate restorative practices into our behaviour management approach to foster a positive and inclusive school culture. Restorative practices emphasize repairing relationships and understanding the impact of one’s actions on others. When conflicts arise, students are encouraged to engage in open dialogues that allow them to express their feelings and perspectives while also listening to those affected by their behaviour. Trained staff facilitate these discussions, guiding students to take responsibility for their actions and collaboratively develop solutions that restore harmony within the classroom community. This approach not only helps resolve issues effectively but also equips students with essential conflict resolution and empathy skills, promoting a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and heard. By prioritizing relationships and accountability, we empower our students to learn from their experiences and build a stronger, more connected school community.
