Behaviour Concern Letter

Although many of our students are well behaved and try their best, there are times when students let themselves down and their behaviour must be reported. Teachers may wish to inform their student’s parents about the concerning behaviour that their child has been displaying in class and the actions that have been taken and will be taken to support the student in an endeavour to modify their behaviour.

Any student from Years 7 to 12 may have concerning behaviour in class, during breaks, on excursions, or before and after school. Teachers may use Compass to record these instances, produce a letter to send to the parents, and have an electronic record for themselves and the relevant Sub School.

The letter is now ready to print.
