Positive Behaviour

Parkhall Integrated College’s vision is to provide an inclusive, caring learning environment where we all feel valued and respected and are empowered to reach our full potential.

Our behaviour policy is based on the simple requirements of courtesy and mutual respect, which contribute to the development and maintenance of good behaviour and a positive ethos. Our code of conduct is displayed in all classrooms and reinforced by teachers in class and by pastoral care team.

We value highly the close links that develop between parents/guardians and teachers and encourage on-going contact. We greatly appreciate the support of parents/guardians when implementing our behaviour policy.

Students are encouraged to develop a sense of responsibility through opportunities to become a member of the school council or senior school prefect. These positions of responsibility provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate their leadership and organisational skills and their ability and willingness to help others.

Rewards Structure

Rewarding positive behaviour through our school rewards structure is a key aspect of school life. In this way, students will achieve recognition for a positive contribution to school life.

The current rewards structure is based around four main categories: attendance, academic performance, sporting performance and good behaviour, courtesy and manners. Rewards may be informal – through teacher praise and simply good work – and more formal, such as achievement points, certificates, vouchers, trips or other reward prizes that have been identified by the school council.

The system aims to raise self-esteem and self-confidence through recognising and rewarding our student’s achievements, and we are delighted to receive the financial support of our local business partners, through our Business Community Partnership Scheme. We currently receive support from the following local business partners and we are indebted to their contribution:

  • Islandbawn Buliding Supplies
  • Moes Grill
  • Hutchinson Care Homes
  • Wallace’s Antrim
  • IED (Design & Marketing)
  • Danske Bank Antrim
  • M Clarke Mortgages
