Consequences for unacceptable behaviour

Students may be withdrawn from activities for persistent or serious misconduct. In all cases they will be supervised by a staff member. Persistent unacceptable behaviour reported to Centre Administration will be reported to the visiting school's administration and/or parents. Students may be removed from activities (indefinitely) or excluded from the remaining program (requiring dismissal to home) by Centre Administration for the following reasons:

  • Breach of the code of conduct (1.4MB)
  • Criminal behaviour.
  • The student's continued presence is a serious threat to their own safety or the safety of others.
    Premeditated vandalism including environmental vandalism.

In the event of a prohibited substance being found with/or consumed by a student, the centre will enact the following procedures:

  • Health status of student will be determined and medical support sought if necessary.
  • Substance will be identified (where possible), confiscated and secured.
  • Any other people involved will be identified and managed accordingly.
  • Police service will be notified if the substance is suspected as being illicit.
  • Student's school Principal will be contacted. Strategy for informing parent/caregiver will be negotiated along with procedures for transporting student from the centre.
  • Regional Executive Director South East will be notified and a report will be prepared.

Behaviour support

Jacobs Well Environmental Education Centre supports all visiting schools through provision of a detailed resource package which includes the centre's guidelines for responsible behaviour regarding safety, risk, welfare, health and security.

Other points to note

  • It is the visiting school's responsibility to ensure that student and visiting adults support structures (medical, learning and behaviour support) available at the school site that are provided during Centre programs.
  • Contact will be made with the visiting school's administration in the case of serious breaches of conduct.
  • Behaviour support strategies will reflect collaboration between Centre staff, visiting school staff, school administration and parents as required.

In cases of misconduct, students will be encouraged to

  • identify their inappropriate behaviour
  • reflect on the implications of their behaviour
  • accept responsibility and appropriate consequences for their actions and
  • strive to rebuild trust and select more appropriate behaviours.
