Duty Notes

General

Remember that you are always on duty when travelling around the College and the same expectations of behavior should be expected and reinforced at all times.

Running is not allowed on staircases, landings and walkways. It is expected that staff will intervene where students do not follow this expectation.

Secondary students should not use laptops during breaks.

Be positively assertive when students are not doing the right thing:

1. Question them to see if they know what the rule is. If not explain with reasons if possible.
2. If it is serious a consequence should be immediate. If not explain that they are doing the wrong thing and what the next step is if they continue/do it again. This could be a RR, set consequence, or name to the VP Primary or Head of Secondary for follow up. It may be appropriate to record their name on your notepad.
3. If they do it again follow through with the consequence.
4. If you need help send a child to the front office or staff room requesting that a staff member come to your area.
