The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
The 7 Habits are the core of our School Values Program and the centre of wellbeing at Badger Creek Primary School. They are also the core of our behaviour expectations.
The 7 Habits are:
- Be Proactive – “You’re In Charge”
- Begin with the End in Mind – “Have a Plan”
- Put First Things First – “Work then Play”
- Think Win-Win – “Everyone Can Win”
- Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood – “Listen then Talk”
- Synergise – “Together Is Better”
- Sharpen the Saw – “Balance Feels Better”
Restorative Practices
At Badger Creek Primary School, all staff have been trained in Restorative Practices and we employ these techniques to help support students resolve conflicts. Repairing relationships and making amends helps to solve issues and gives everyone an opportunity to have their say.
Restorative questions are a tool used to process an incident of wrongdoing or conflict. The questions focus on the incident, and allow the person to think about how his/her actions affected others. It encourages empathy, accountability, expression of feelings/thoughts, and problem solving.
