School Procedures

Positive Behaviour 4 Engagement is our behaviour management programme at St Bernard's. It has as its premise that behaviour is all we do. Every action we take and every word we speak is behaviour.

Positive Behaviour 4 Engagement is concerned with teaching the children the expected behaviour for different situations. There is no guessing as to what is expected and the children know how to behave.

The BERNIs are the expectations we use within the school and they are the keystones of our Positive Behaviour 4 Engagement Programme.

• Expectations are taught weekly based on our BERNI Rules Rule PB4E Matrix.
• BERNI Awards presented at Assembly for children's efforts within the class
• BERNI stars are handed out to catch children making positive choices.

Wearing a school uniform is an important part of creating a sense of community, as well as a sense of identity for students as part of the school community.

Wearing our school uniform contributes in a meaningful way to ensuring each student has pride in being a member of the St Bernard’s Catholic School community.

Uniform and Personal Appearance Policy

St Bernard’s has a strict uniform and grooming policy. We suggest you read our full School Uniform and Personal Appearance Policy
