part of the program.
• Be responsible for discipline, organising meals and duty roster and share
with the accompanying adults the supervision of students during activities.
• Administer and record any medication listed on the “Student Medication Record”

showers and their general conduct.
• Assist the teachers and centre staff in the supervision of students especially
during evening, night and early morning.
• Provide a model for the students by participating in the learning experiences, by
observing and pointing out items of interest and also showing your concern for
the area by preventing litter and damage.
• Allow students to carry out assigned tasks by themselves – it is all part of the
learning experience. Support them just don’t do it for them.Behaviour Management
The Wanpa-rda Matilda Outback Education Centre provides a supportive school
environment through praise and responsible use and respect of the environment,
facilities and others. The Centre staff respect the visiting school’s Behaviour
Management Plan and acknowledges continuity as an important aspect
Camp Leaders and accompanying adults, along with WMOEC staff will be actively
involved in the promotion of positive behaviour management.
Code of Behaviour – (Responsible Behaviour Plan attached)
Everyone is expected to show respect for:
· The environment
· Centre facilities and equipment
· All Centre staff and visiting students, school staff and accompanying adults
Show respect for others:
· Ideas and opinions
· Differences
· Abilities and limitations
Take responsibility for your own actions
Where a school chooses not to follow their own Behaviour Management Plan the
following plan will be used to deal with breaches of the Code of Behaviour.
1. Acknowledge positive behaviour
Point out concerns, alert to consequences
Redirect to appropriate task
2. Return to task or sanction (time out), relinquish equipment or role for a short
time.
3. Extend sanction or remove to supervised work area.
If necessary contact the school principal.

Duty of Care
The Wanpa-rda Matilda Outback Education Centre staff and visiting teachers
work collaboratively to support the curriculum programs offered by the centre.
The aim is to provide teachers and students with a physically, emotionally and socially
safe educational experience.Responsible Behaviour Plan for
Students
Based on the Code of School Behaviour
Rationale
Education Queensland is committed to provisions that ensure all young
Queenslanders have a right to and receive a quality education.
Wanpa-rda Matilda Outback Education Centre in conjunction with the Australian
Workers Heritage Centre works towards providing every visitor with a memorable
experience. We strive to provide a warm, caring and supportive environment where
students feel safe and happy.
The learning environment recognises and accepts individual differences and all
students have an opportunity to participate in centre programs.
The centre believes in cooperative and joint responsibility with the visiting school to
maintain acceptable student behaviour that ensures the well being of each person for
the achievement of learning outcomes.
Centre beliefs about behaviour and learning:
The Wanpa-rda Matilda Outback Education Centre believes in:
• A learning environment which is interesting, relevant, challenging and fun.
• A supportive environment where all feel safe and valued.
• A positive, preventative approach to managing behaviour which recognises each
school’s established responsible behaviour plan for students.
• The establishment of clear expectations for acceptable student behaviour.
• The recognition of the rights and responsibilities of all visitors to the Centre.
• The acceptance of consequences relating to responsibilities.
Processes for facilitating standards of positive behaviour
and responding to unacceptable behaviour
In general, the Centre will support the Responsible Behaviour Plan for Students of the
visiting school. In turn, the visiting school will need to be aware of the requirements of
the centre and therefore schools should note that when visiting the centre, they are
under the direction of the centre staff and visiting teachers are expected to be
supportive of this plan.Whole-school behaviour support
Wanpa-rda Matilda’s strategies focus on our 5 Cs of personal behaviour:
Caring – for the environment, others and self
Considering – the environment and others
Cooperating – with others
Communicating – with others
Courtesy – to others
To this end, it is expected that both centre staff and visiting schools work towards
achieving these behaviours.
Visiting teachers and/or the school are provided with pre-visit Information before
a visit, and are expected to be familiar with their responsibilities outlined in the
pre-visit booklet.
Visiting teachers are expected to discuss with their class the centre’s
expectations and rules prior to visiting.
Targeted behaviour support
Prior to a school visiting the centre, visiting teachers are encouraged to alert
centre staff to students who may exhibit challenging behaviour. Centre staff will
also ensure they are made aware of students who require consideration because
of their particular individual differences.
Intensive behaviour support
Contact will be made with the visiting school’s administration in the case of
serious breaches of conduct. Centre staff will work with the school for the most
appropriate action.
Consequences for unacceptable behaviour
Categories of Unacceptable Student Behaviour
• Unknowingly transgress rules/expectations/social norms.
• Knowingly transgress rules/expectations/social norms.
- Disruptive behaviour e.g. calling out, minor interference with others’
belongings
- Verbal abuse to others
- Physical abuse of self or others
- Disobedience of direction by teacher/aide/volunteer helper
- Damage/Destruction to property or environment.
- Theft of property
- Possession of prohibited items or substances.
Consequences
• Verbal warning of transgression and/or disapproval – reiterate rule/highlight
relevant code of behaviour.
• Verbal rebuke – reiterate rule/highlight relevant code of behaviour and/or warn of
further consequences.
• Student given to visiting teacher for one to one supervision, while still participating
in the activity.
• ‘Time out’ to quiet place away from the group.• Exclusion from all activities and student to remain on site under supervision of a teacher. • Exclusion from all activities and school is contacted to arrange removal of student from centre back to the care of the school. Note, this strategy is a last resort and the centre may use this strategy where there have been wilful and persistent transgressions or gross immoral conduct. Examples may be continued verbal or physical abuse of others, or wilful destruction of property or the environment. In the case of prohibited items or substances, the student will immediately be excluded from activities and contact with the school will occur. Negotiation will take place with the principal of the visiting school to initiate action in accordance with their school plan. Students may display a combination of behaviours and the severity and frequency may vary. Strategies employed may therefore vary accordingly to meed the given situation. Consideration of individual circumstances The individual circumstances of students will be considered through obtaining information on students when planning their visit to the centre. Communication with schools occurs through pre-visits to schools by centre staff. Where this is not possible telephone contact is made with the school prior to visit.
SUN SMART POLICY
Rationale
Queensland has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. Of all new cancers
diagnosed in Australia each year, 80% are skin cancers. Research suggests that at
least two-thirds of all melanomas occurring in Australia could be prevented if children
were protected from the sun during their first 15 years.
Skin damage, including skin cancer, is the result of cumulative exposure to the sun.
Research shows that severe sunburn contributes to skin cancer and other forms of
skin damage such as sunspots, blemishes and premature ageing. Most skin damage
and skin cancer is therefore preventable.
Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) levels are highest during the hours that children are at
school. As children will spend a portion of their day outdoors, we are concerned to
protect them from the harmful effects of the sun.
With this in mind, the Wanpa-rda Matilda Outback Education Centre realises the need
to protect children’s skin and educate them about Sun Smart behaviour, thus reducing
the risk of skin damage from the exposure to the sun.
Aims
This policy aims to:
Provide ongoing education that promotes personal responsibility for skin cancer
prevention and early detection;
Provide environments that support Sun Smart practices;
Create an awareness of the need to reschedule work commitments and outdoor
activities to support Sun Smart practices.
Procedures
Our Centre recognises that winter sun also contributes to skin damage. The
implementation of this policy will therefore be conducted throughout the year.
The purpose of this Sun Smart policy is to ensure that all children attending our
establishment are protected from the harmful effects of the sun throughout the year.
Our Commitment
The Wanpa-rda Matilda Outback Education Centre will:
Inform schools of our Sun Smart policy when they book into the centre;
Include the Sun Smart policy statement in the Centre’s prospectus;
Increase the amount of shade in the centre’s grounds, where possible, by
building shelters and planting trees;
Incorporate education lessons about sun protection within the Centre’s
curriculum;
Encourage all on-site and visiting teachers, staff and parents to act as positive
role models for children in all aspects of Sun Smart behaviour; Seek ongoing support and collaboration with local schools in implementing the
Sun Smart policy;
Ensure that all students, staff and parents wear hats that protect the face, neck
and ears, and SPF 30+ broad spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen, when
involved in outdoor activities;
Encourage students without adequate sun protection to use shaded or covered
areas at recess and lunch times;
Advise visiting schools about appropriate clothing for students to wear while at
the centre that conform with the Queensland Cancer Fund Sun Smart clothing
guidelines;
Ensure that, wherever practical, outdoor activities take place before 10am and
after 3pm;
Ensure that adequate shade is provided during all outdoor activities.
Ensure that SPF 30+ broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen is taken along
to all outdoor activities;
Ensure spare hats are available for students to wear;
Ask visiting schools to bring SPF+ sunscreen when they visit the Centre.
Ensure that sunscreen is easily accessible for students, staff and parents
throughout various points in the centre.
Our Expectations
Visiting Schools will:
Ensure all children bring a hat to the centre. The Queensland Cancer Fund
recommends the following hats:
- Broad brimmed – at least 7.5cm wide
- Bucket hat – at least 6cm wide
- Legionnaire Hat
Visiting teachers, staff and parents ensure that all students apply SPF 30+
sunscreen 20 minutes before outside activities.
Ensure all children bring appropriate clothing for sun protection. The
Queensland Cancer Fund recommends clothing with following features:
- Dark-coloured
- Collars and sleeves
- Closely woven fabric
- Natural fibre
Act as positive role models by following Sun Smart practices.
