General Mercer’s Student Support Plan

 

The students at General Mercer learn the importance of Emotional Intelligence

 

       Self- Awareness: the ability to identify one’s own emotions

 

       Self-Management:  the ability to modulate one’s emotions

 

       Social Awareness: the ability to understand others’ emotions

 

       Relationship Management: the ability to co-regulate and manage interpersonal conflicts.

 

We do this by applying a prosocial (focusing on the positive) approach to addressing behaviour.  It is a school expectation that our students learn to:

 

*       Play cooperatively and safely.

 

 

 

*       Resolve conflicts and difficulties through peaceful means.

 

 

 

*       Demonstrate courtesy and respect to all members of our school community: staff, students, parents, and community members.

 

 

 

*       Be respectful of the property of others, including school property.

 

Our students are expected to demonstrate behaviors that are integral to building good character. They do this by exhibiting the following attributes:

 

Respectful
Responsible
Empathetic
Kind & Caring
Team player
Fair
Honest
Cooperative
Integrity
Persevere

 

Along with the attributes above, we also work towards developing the following learning skills and work habits in class:

 

Responsibility, Independence, Initiative, Organization, Self- regulation and Collaboration.
