Students Behaviour, Affirmation Levels and Medallions (Year 1 to 6)
At Kingsley Primary School we value excellent behaviour and attendance. Excellent behaviour at school allows students to learn and teachers to teach. Students can concentrate on their lessons and so can their classmates. Regular attendance is also very important, and students should be aiming to maintain an attendance rate of 95%. If a student has an attendance rate of 75% across their primary school years, by the end of year 6, they will have missed the equivalent of two years of primary school.
One of the systems that we use for encouraging excellent behaviour and attendance is the Affirmation system. Students, in year 1 to 6, receive one point for every day that they attend school and demonstrate excellent behaviour (do not receive a warning in the classroom Behaviour Book). The Behaviour Book tracks good behaviour and attendance as well as students who receive warnings throughout the day.
Students who reach 160 days of excellent behaviour and attendance in term 4 receive a medallion at the Affirmation Assembly in week 9 of Term 4. Students are encouraged to wear their Affirmation Medals from previous years to the ceremony. It is not unusual for some year 6 students to receive their 6th Affirmation medal at the end of year 6. There are 190 days of school in most school years. More than half of our students
