Back to School Expectations

Explicit Teaching:  

• Ask students to share what they think ‘expectations’ are. What are they? 
• Expectations are strong beliefs about the way someone should behave or something should happen.
• Discuss the following expectations from the poster and agree on the reason why they are in place, e.g. to belong in a welcoming and kind school community, to keep us safe, to feel focused to learn, to allow others to feel good, to create a positive and happy environment for learning, to be apart of a team, etc.

Expectations: 

• Wear your school uniform with pride.
• Be organised and prepared by packing your lunch box, drink bottle, hat and pencil case.
• Keep your hands, feet and body to yourself.
• Play in bounds during lunch and recess.
• Do your 5 by 5's at the end of each break.
• Move sensibly and safely at all times.
• Speak politely to everyone.
• Take care of the school environment.
• Listen to and follow instructions from adults.
