Our beliefs about learning and behaviour:
At Edge Hill we cultivate an environment where every day, in every classroom, every student is learning and achieving. We believe that education is a shared responsibility. We recognise the close relationship between learning, achievement and behaviour. We encourage an experience where the school and home work together so that the child becomes a responsible, active citizen. Essential to effective learning is a safe, supportive and disciplined environment that respects the following rights;
The rights of all students to learn.
The rights of teachers to teach.
The rights of all to be safe.
At Edge Hill State School we utilise a 'whole of school' approach to behaviour management. Central to this approach is the use of school-wide expectations that are embedded in teaching and learning practices. These expectations are taught, practised and modelled;
Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Safe, Be Learning
Our whole school approach for behaviour management focuses on Restorative Practices and Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL).

Upon enrolling, student and parent/s are required to sign the 'Edge Hill State School Student Expectations Agreement', agreeing to abide by the above expectations and rights. Included in this is a student agreement that they are:
Responsible for their behaviour, and that all behaviour, both appropriate and inappropriate, has consequences, and that consequences will be applied for their behaviour.
Details about our Code of Conduct, Restorative Practices framework, Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) framework and interventions are documented in our Student Code of Conduct Policy.
