Welcome

Hi, my name is Stephen Bevan and I am Principal at Tuart Hill Primary School in Perth, Western Australia. Research shows that open and clear communication between home and school is important which is why I have created this blog. As Principal of Tuart Hill Primary School I value your opinions and encourage your comments. Feel free to comment on any of the posts.

I will endeavour to provide you with regular and informative posts about our school and its activities. I ask that your comments be constructive and positive with any concerns or complaints directed to me personally at school.

Tuart Hill Primary School prides itself on the positive, open and friendly culture that has been established. Our vision is to raise the literacy level of all students through the provision of quality teaching and learning opportunities.

Dealing with Bullying

Last week, principal's across the state received a letter from the Director General of Education recalling the sad circumstances of a NSW teenager who tragically took his own life in 2008 after being bullied at school. She reminded us that we need to remain vigilant against bullying and respond seriously in respect of any incident involving the assault of children.

At Tuart Hill Primary School we have a no tolerance approach to bullying. All reported incidents are taken very seriously and managed in accordance with our Behaviour Management Policy. This policy outlines how we promote a safe, supportive, respectful and positive learning environment in which everyone is free from bullying, harassment, discrimination and violence.

If you would like a copy of our school's behaviour management policy please request one through the office.

Fortunately, we have very few reported instances of bullying at our school. I believe that this is a reflection of the positive way that we deal with student behaviour.
