High Five to Belinda Leavers, Principal of Loganlea High School! Showing our youth consequences of their actions and teaching them choices for Logan City... I found this on the internet today and thought I would share... Loganlea State High Principal Belinda Leavers said ‘restorative justice’ was improving behaviour and cited the example of two students who had emptied a fire extinguisher at the school’s farm, taking the farmhand away from their usual duties to clean up. “The students were assigned some of the farmhand’s duties in their break, so they could learn how their negative actions had affected others,” she said. “We choose interventions that are either aligned with the misdemeanour or we tailor an activity to target a particular negative behaviour by replacing it with a positive one. “Students learn to own their behaviours – positive and negative – and recognise that the resulting consequences are theirs also. “It’s not about ‘good luck’ or ‘bad luck’, it’s about good and bad choices.” debfrecklington.au/news/v/2092/queensland-school-discipline-success-highlighted https://facebook/loganleastatehigh
