Recognition
of Acceptable Behaviour
At
Yarrilee we value and reward students for demonstrating acceptable and
appropriate behaviour. Through our Level system, every child earns the right to
commence their schooling at Yarrilee or commence their new minischool on
Behaviour Level 3. A student on Level 3 demonstrates the behaviour that we
expect of all of our students consistent with the YOU CAN DO IT keys and the 12 Positive Attitudes.
LEVEL 3 Students (All MiniSchools)
EARLY LEARNERS
As Prep is the first year of
school there is a 2 tier level system – Satisfactory Level 3 and Not
Satisfactory
Prep students will have
focussed teaching in each of the 5 YCDI Keys.
The rainbow chart is used as a
daily YCDI reflection tool.
As the criteria is fulfilled
for each key, students will be presented with a certificate.
LEVEL 2 Students (Junior, Middle & Senior
School)
Demonstrate a “higher” than
“C” standard CONSISTENTLY over a term.

special assembly. Parents are invited to attend.
Some students choose to remain
on this level.
LEVEL 1 Students (Junior, Middle & Senior

“C” standard CONSISTENTLY over 2 or more terms.

badge to add to their Blue YCDI badge.

parents and the Administration staff.
PROCESS
At
the end of each term, Class Teachers review student’s behaviour after
consideration of YCDI reflective journal, personal observation and any relevant
behaviour records. (SS students may have the option to self-nominate)
The list of nominees is then
presented to the minischool staff for endorsement.
When endorsed, the minischools
present their nominees to all staff.
If not endorsed, the class
teacher feeds back to the student and works with them on future goal
setting.
Celebrating and
Showcasing Musical Excellence
Each year we
celebrate and recognise the achievement of our students through
the Music Showcase and Awards Evening.
Parents and guests are invited to an evening of music and celebration as our
String Ensembles, Concert Band, Rock Bands, Guitar Groups, Yarrilee Voices and
Choral groups entertain us.
The evening concludes
with the presentation of awards across all areas of our Music Program.
