• Developing a partnership that includes all members of our school community.
• Exploring and experiencing what it means to be a “good citizen” of our community.
• Enabling our students to take an active part in school decision-making.
• Giving our students the experience of being respected and listened to.
• Learning how to present a reasoned argument even when this may be unpopular.
• Learning what behaviour is appropriate in different situations developing peer support for appropriate behaviour.
