At CSC, through individualised and challenging academic programs we bring out the best in our students, inspire them to reach their full potential and create tomorrow together as informed global citizens.

Student behaviour is a part of the overall teaching and learning approach at Coorparoo Secondary College. Our staff take responsibility for making their expectations clear, for providing supportive instruction about how to meet these expectations and strive to use behavioural incidents as opportunities to re-teach and model appropriate behaviours.

The development of the Coorparoo Secondary College Student Code of Conduct is based in the restorative practices model as well as the learning zones (traffic light system). The language and expectations of CSC can be used in any environment, including the home setting for students. Setting students up for success is a shared goal of every parent and school staff member as we create tomorrow together.

Coorparoo Secondary College caters to a diverse range of learners from a diverse range of backgrounds. As a priority, the College has developed a range of highly inclusive practices to address this need. We encourage any student or parents/caregivers to make an appointment with the principal to discuss the model of behaviour support and discipline used at this school.

As a College we pride ourselves on getting to know our students and their individual circumstances and we actively seek the opportunity for inclusion.

Restorative Practices is a teaching and learning approach that promotes self-regulation and encourages behaviour that is supportive and respectful. It puts the onus on individuals to be truly accountable for their behaviour and to repair any harm caused to others as a result of their actions.

At CSC we:

value quality relationships
model empathy and respectful relationships
value student voice and utilise collaborative problem solving
view inappropriate behaviours as opportunities for learning
apply procedural fairness
recognise the importance of repairing damaged relationships
separate the deed from the doer
using active listening and positive language and tone
avoid scolding judging lecturing or blaming
foster self-awareness in the student
implement consequences that are proportional and fair
remain future focussed

The key elements that underpin restorative practice:

honesty and sincerity
positive regard for individuals
empathy
individual responsibility
shared accountability
an optimistic view of personal growth and change.

The expectations that underpin our Student Code of Conduct are: I am safe, I am respectful and I am responsible
