This week’s lesson is:
.Be respectful – Listen and follow adults’ instructions
We are learning to: Be respectful - listen to and follow ALL adult instructions. This is because being respectful to all adults, not just our own teachers, is important!
Some students are not showing respect to ALL teachers. Students need to show respect to Classroom Teachers as well as Music Teachers, HPE Teachers, LOTE & Bilingual Art Teachers, Library Teachers, Instrumental Teachers and Relief Teachers and Teacher Aides..
What respect looks like in Music…
Mrs Francis’ expectations of students showing respect:
- Line up in 2 lines outside the door
- Wait quietly until Mrs Francis has opened the door. This is because another class could still be inside trying to focus on their lesson
- Participate in the lesson
- Raise your hand to answer any questions
- Follow the instructions to pack away appropriately
- Make sure you have all your belongings and line up QUIETLY in 2 lines at the door
.
What respect looks like in HPE…
Mr. Rostron and Miss M’s expectations of students showing respect are:
- Stop and Listen while the teacher is giving an instruction
- When the HPE teacher gives an instruction, there are often SAFETY rules that you need to follow. If you are not listening respectfully, then you or your classmates may not be safe.
 
- Be respectful and careful with equipment
- Respect yourself by giving your best effort - always try your best
- Take turns and ensure that you are fair in games
Mr Rostron reminds you that you should: Respect self, others and equipment at all times.
.
What respect looks like in Library…
 
When you visit a public library in the community, it is a quiet place for people to enjoy and work in. Some people may be working on assessments, work items or purely just enjoying the books. When we visit our school library it should look and sound very similar.
Mrs Ennis’ expectations of students showing respect are:
- Enter the library quietly
- Whispering or talking in a quiet voice if necessary
- Walking at all times around the library
- Showing respect to the books. If you take a book out to look at, make sure you put it back in the correct place.
.
What respect looks like in LOTE and Bilingual Arts…
Mr Wang and Ms Lu’s expectations of students showing respect are:
- Students are ready for learning with their books and equipment
- Listen respectfully and follow teacher instructions
.
What respect looks like in Instrumental Music and Choir…
- Listen and follow Mrs Thomas, Mrs Francis and Mrs Gray’s instructions
- Turn up on time for rehearsals, lessons and performances
- Be respectful, careful and safe with your own and other people’s instruments
- Respect your band, choir and ensemble mates by making sure you are ready to make beautiful music together!
.
What respect looks like with a Relief Teacher…
 
A relief teacher is just like any other teacher and deserves to be treated with the same amount of respect. When you arrive to school in the morning and you see that you have a relief teacher you should greet them by saying hello and do what you would normally do for your regular classroom teacher. The classroom rules and school rules are the same. You should continue to show Robertson manners, follow instructions and speak kindly.
Please encourage your child to show respect to all their teachers!
