What makes a great/successful classroom? At the beginning of each year classes formulate a vision statement about

what makes a quality classroom. Classes identify behaviours which contribute

to a successful learning environment and behaviours that prevent it. Classes

create a Code of Cooperation/Class Agreement which provides boundaries

for acceptable behaviours that uphold the school values. The Class

Agreements are shared with parents on the Open/Acquaintance Nights. The

Class Agreements are linked with the Behaviour Management Policy and the

Yard Agreements.
