As a college we value the individual and to that end our three key principles of Respect for Self, Respect for Others and Respect for the Environment underpin that belief. We believe that this is a crucial part of our student wellbeing program. The supportive school environment of Unity College is one in which:
- College practices reflect Gospel values, whereby all members of the College community are valued and treated with dignity and respect
- Spiritual, academic, social, physical and emotional learning outcomes are maximised for all through quality practices in the areas of religious experiences, curriculum, pastoral care and interpersonal relationships, in living out the ethos of the College
- All members of the College community feel safe, supported and respected
- Pastorally-caring practices that include non-coercive and non-discriminatory behaviour are defined, modelled and reinforced by all members of the College community.
Elements of our whole College approach to Student Behaviour Support include:
- A focus on positive relationships and mutual respect
- Teaching behaviour and personal and social learning in a curriculum context, through Learning Areas and/or the General Capabilities of the Australian Curriculum and Brisbane Catholic Education Religious Education Curriculum
- A consistent approach that has the support of the school community
- Effective teaching of expected behaviour and/or social skills
- Effective learning and teaching practices to engage students in learning
- Effective systems for collecting, analysing, and responding to student wellbeing and behaviour data
- Support for students who are identified as requiring additional assistance
Unity College's Student Behaviour Support System is underpinned by School Wide Positive Behaviours Philosophy which is designed to support the holistic growth of all students.
