Behaviour and Discipline
Code of Behavior and Reward Scheme
The staff of Ennis National School want to create a climate of physical, emotional, social, and intellectual safety for students, teachers and parents so that teaching and learning can occur within relationships of mutual valuing and respect. We want pupils to be self-motivated and to be at peace with themselves, others and the world. This requires the help and co-operation of pupils, teachers and parents. Parents/guardians can assist the school by encouraging their children to abide by the school rules, encouraging punctuality and regular attendance and by ensuring that homework is given due time and effort.
Should a parent/guardian be concerned about any aspect of their child’s behaviour they are welcome to make an appointment to discuss their concerns.
Positive Behaviour Reward Scheme
A reward scheme for promoting positive behaviour is used. Such rewards include;
- ‘Congratulations’ and ‘Good News’ postcards and texts sent to parents/guardians
- Personalised letters to parents/guardians or notes in Homework Diary
- Special privileges
- Principal’s Awards
