Maintain a safe, responsible and respectful environment. Promotion and support of intellectual, physical and social/emotional growth.

School wide Positive Behaviour

A school wide behaviour plan is central to the educational process.  As a staff we are committed to he delivery of quality programs to all of our students.

Staff have been implementing a school wide Behaviour Matrix, based on our work with one divisional initiative, PBIS (Positive Behaviours Inverventions and Supports). Our focus has been on noticing positive behaviours and celebrating student efforts for the 3 Bs: Be Safe, Be Respectful and Be Responsible. Students meet in classroom groupings, family groups (cross grade level groupings) and in assemblies to discuss the matrix and examples of how we can positively meet expectations for each area. Please ask your child to tell you all about the behaviour matrix and how it is being used at Dr. Hamilton School. If you have questions, feel free to contact Mrs. Ziprick or your child’s classroom teacher for further details.
