OUR RESPONSIBILITY: During the remainder of Term Two the school will focus on the POWER value of Our Responsibility and be discussing in depth within our Vertical House Groups what this will look like in the classroom and around the school.

Staff have been looking at ways they can engage students in discussing what Our Responsibility looks like with a series of targeted lessons that have been developing during professional development time. This will be done at Timaru Boys’ High School by:

• Actively teaching what is expected behaviour.
• Having an explicit approach that has been proven to be helpful for all students and particularly supportive for those students who are less socially confident and capable.
• An approach that is a structured one that includes very clear expectations, modelling, and practice and that is supported by timely, constructive feedback.
• At all times encouraging students to develop the thinking skills needed for self-management, so that they gradually take responsibility for their own learning and behaviour.
• Taking responsibility through supported timely verbal and visual prompts, reminders, and practice opportunities that help to develop behavioural fluency and confidence across contexts.

In the next newsletter we will outline what our responsibility looks like in practice within the school.

When we have looked at the number of Bronze reward cards by House Groups, Simmers definitely comes out on top with 165 and Tait a close second with 158. This is becoming quite competitive so all Houses have a chance to make a difference by the end of term. Hogben and Dawson need to check this out!

This year so far we have drawn out 84 boys who have received a range of prizes. Let’s see what every student can do to get more cards handed in and just remember there are some fantastic prizes to be drawn before the end of term.

We would like to thank the generous support from all of our sponsors.
