Behaviour Expectation Analysis Team (BEAT) Meeting:

Each week we explicitly discuss and teach a behaviour focus to highlight our expectations at Stanthorpe State High School. At this week's Behaviour Expectations Analysis Team (BEAT) meeting, behaviour data was reviewed and discussed for week 1-5 of Term 2.

The team also reviewed the: The Behaviour / Attendance Criteria for non-curricular events and activities this week. Being a committed member of our school is both in and outside the classroom. With upcoming opportunities for students to participate in non-curricular events and activities, student must consider if they are being part of the learning team at Stanthopre State High School - which means following REP expectations and attending school.
