Professional Development

Restorative Practices

The principles of Restorative Practice are implemented at Bayswater Primary School and promote respect for every member of our school community, encouraging responsible behaviour and actions and ensuring that personal pride and dignity is maintained.

Heal and Repair Harm

Restorative Practice not only help to heal and repair harm, but put in place ways of building and developing the social and emotional literacy of people so they are better able to express themselves, relate well with others and deal with conflict when it arises.

Social and Emotional Literacy

Social and Emotional Literacy is part of the teaching program and the school has many and varied resources and activities that teachers use with their students. The Circle, as outlined in our Restorative Practice parent guide, is used in classrooms to foster community, give every student a voice, share thoughts and feelings, give opinions, resolve issues and problem solve.
