  • Positive School Environment:

    • Promote a positive, inclusive school culture that encourages respect, responsibility, and kindness among all students.
    • Lead or support initiatives aimed at improving student behaviour, such as reward systems, social skills groups, or school-wide behaviour programs.
    • Support students during transitions, such as moving between activities, classrooms, or school settings, to ensure continuity of positive behaviour.
    • Contribute to creating a safe and welcoming environment in the playground, lunchroom, and other common areas.
