Student wellbeing and behaviour
Hamilton Island State School is a Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) school. We are committed to providing a safe, respectful and positive learning environment for students, staff and the wider community. Through our whole-school approach, students are supported to engage in quality learning experiences and develop the skills and values that promote lifelong wellbeing.
Student wellbeing and positive behaviour are further supported through programmes such as the PAUSE Program, developed by Wendy Fox, which helps students build self-regulation, resilience and emotional awareness.
Our Student Code of Conduct promotes mutual respect and high standards of behaviour, supporting effective teaching and learning and helping all students participate positively in the school community.
Hamilton Island State School supports the Department of Education's behaviour expectations for Queensland state schools and is committed to ensuring that all members of our school community understand and uphold these values and standards.
