Our policies and reports
Our policies and reports help families understand how our school works. Our annual report and school plan show what we’ve done and how we’re improving each year. Our policies address attendance, absences, behaviour, uniform and how we respond to your concerns.
Annual school report
Each year, we share our progress in the annual school report. It gives families a clear picture of how our school is performing and how we’re supporting every student’s success. The report reflects our commitment to openness, accountability and continuous improvement.
The report includes:
- what we’re doing well and where we’re improving
- student achievement and academic progress
- our school vision and goals
- key highlights and milestones
- challenges we’ve faced and how we’re addressing them.
School excellence plan
Our school excellence plan (SEP) is a working document that shows our priorities in learning, teaching and leading. It explains our focus areas for improvement and how we plan to get there. We write our SEP with help from our school community so it reflects our shared priorities.
School behaviour support and management plan
Our school has a school behaviour support and management plan (SBSMP). The SBSMP helps us create a safe, respectful and supportive learning environment for all students. It sets clear expectations for student behaviour. This includes how we respond to bullying and cyberbullying. We work together with our school community to shape the plan and review it each year.
Anti Bullying Plan
Our school is committed to providing a safe, supportive, and respectful environment for all students. Our Anti-Bullying Plan outlines clear strategies to prevent and address bullying, promote kindness, and encourage positive relationships. Together, we work to ensure every student feels valued and protected.
Positive Behaviour Learning (PBL)
CCDC implements the Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) approach, a proven framework aimed at fostering a positive and supportive learning environment for all students. PBL focuses on teaching and reinforcing desirable behaviours, helping students develop essential social and emotional skills that contribute to their academic and personal growth.
The Dunheved Way “means we C.A.R.E”
Our C.A.R.E. framework outlines the school’s three core values:
1. Cooperate: Students will work together, share ideas, and respect diverse perspectives to achieve common goals.
2. Achieve: Students are encouraged to strive for excellence in their academic pursuits, personal growth, and overall well-being.
3. Respect: Students will treat themselves, others, and their environment with care, valuing the differences and contributions of everyone.
By incorporating the idea of Everyday into our core values, we emphasis that these behaviours are not occasional expectations but integral parts of daily school life.
