Morisset High School Whole School Behaviour, Support and Management Plan
Morisset High School is committed to working restoratively with the school community to explicitly teach and model positive behaviour for learning, to ensure all students can reach their potential.
Our vision is to be recognised for teaching excellence, educational opportunities, and aspirational pathways that transform lives. The principles of restorative practice, positive behaviour for learning (PBL), trauma-informed practice, explicit teaching, and social-emotional learning underpin our daily practice. At Morisset High School, every young person has a right to quality education in a positive, safe, and productive learning environment.
All students are responsible for creating a strong learning culture and community by practising the school values of Respect, Safety, Responsibility, and Engagement every day in class and in the yard.
Our processes are founded on the idea that students must learn to take responsibility for their own actions and to ensure all staff respond to these challenges restoratively, to support students to acknowledge harm, repair harm and learn from their behaviour.
To achieve our vision, the key approaches and programs that are prioritised and valued by the school community are:
- Restorative Practice
- Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL)
- Explicit Teaching
- Berry Street Education Model: trauma-informed practice
These approaches and programs prioritise social and emotional learning, supporting positive mental health, positive relationships, and the development of emotional intelligence, contributing to a safer school environment that empowers students to resolve peer conflict and be ready to learn.
Restorative Practice is a whole-school teaching and learning approach that encourages behaviour that is supportive and respectful. It puts the onus on individuals to be truly accountable for their behaviour and to repair any harm caused to others, as a result of their actions. A restorative approach focuses on building, maintaining, and restoring positive relationships, particularly when incidents that involve interpersonal conflict or wrongdoing occur.
Restorative Practices work best when the whole school community is on board.

Morisset High School Behaviour Support and Mangement Plan
Student wellbeing
Like all NSW public schools, we provide safe learning and teaching environments to encourage healthy, happy, successful and productive students.
The department is committed to creating quality learning opportunities for children and young people. These opportunities support wellbeing through positive and respectful relationships and fostering a sense of belonging to the school and community.
The Wellbeing Framework for Schools helps schools support the cognitive, physical, social, emotional and spiritual development of students and allows them to connect, succeed and thrive throughout their education.
Positive Behaviour for Learning
At our school, we use Positive Behaviour for Learning – a whole-school approach for creating a positive, safe and supportive school climate where students can learn and develop. Our whole school community works together to establish expected behaviours and teach them to all students.
