Our Restorative Ethos
Restorative practices and building strong learning relationships are about being committed to journeying alongside people to support their learning and well being. It focuses on building healthy relationships and as a result makes it possible for everyone in the community to experience success.
It is about treating people as equals, caring for them and working in collaboration with them. Restorative practices honour relationships and ensure that there are opportunities to heal the hurt and damage experienced by people.
Restorative conversations are key to maintaining our school's positive learning culture.
