Duce Newsletter

The Positive Student Behaviour Policy refers to student conduct, behaviour and management and was developed to enable all students to reach their full potential and support the smooth running of the College The foundation for this set of guidelines is that members of our Lasallian College community will display consideration, respect and acceptance towards others, as well as personal responsibility at all times. The policy includes structured consequences for breaches that are followed by all staff consistently.

The Positive Student Behaviour Policy includes a structured system of recognition for behaviours that reflect our Lasallian ethos. This results in a balanced approach, enabling your son to grow in our community.

It should be noted that these College Expectations and Guidelines are underpinned by a restorative approach. Restorative Practices promote social discipline, self-regulation, emotional wellbeing, and civic participation through participatory classroom, and whole school management and decision making.

The College expectations and consequences also apply while students are engaged in off-campus College activities and on the way to and from the College. If a student repeatedly fails to comply with the Positive Student Behaviour Policy, they may be ineligible to attend overseas trips.

The Man Cave

As part of the College GROW program, the Holy Eucharist Campus will partner with the Man Cave These full day workshops will help redefine the journey to manhood and discuss the skillsets adolescents need to grow and succeed. These workshops will take place on the 21 and 22 June 2023

Delayed Departure and Dete ntions

Delayed Departure

Students may be kept until 3:50pm without parent notification. This is used ad hoc, primarily as a measure to ensure students understand the importance of an increased rigor within the curriculum and/or to ensure the Year 9 learning environment is respected. Any teacher may keep your son back until this time if they are not satisfied with how your son is responding within their classroom.

Friday Afternoon and Saturday Morning Detentions

Running from 3:20pm-4:20pm, Friday afternoon detentions will be used as a measure if delayed departures are not changing a behaviour.

Saturday morning detentions will be used when students are not abiding by school policy. Students will be required to report to Tiverton Campus in full school uniform from 9:00am - 11:00am.

School Psychologists

The School Psychologists provide individual counselling for a range of presenting issues at Holy Eucharist including, but not limited to: mental health problems; behavioural difficulties; relationships (peer and family); traumatic life events and grief.

If the needs of the student or their family cannot be met by the School Psychologists, offers will be made to refer them to an appropriate external service. Support of the student will continue while this referral is underway. The School Psychologists will also provide regular support for students at Holy Eucharist through group work.

Students can access the School Psychologists by emailing or with the help of their Class Mentor or the Head of Year 9 Campus. Parents can contact the School Psychologists with any concerns they have and can organise an appointment to speak to a School Psychologist or request a psychologist to speak to their child. Counselling is confidential as obliged by legal requirements and the ethical and professional dictates of their profession. The School Psychologists are bound by the College’s commitment to Child Safety.
