Positive Shift in Behaviour Reflects Calm, Consistent Practice

Recent OneSchool data shows a notable reduction in behaviour incidents at Gympie Special School, marking a significant step forward in creating a calmer and more supportive school environment.

The results reflect the ongoing efforts of staff who are responding to behaviour with professionalism, consistency, and care. In classrooms and across the school, students are being met with calm voices, patient redirections, and well-timed interventions that de-escalate challenges before they grow.

This steady, respectful approach to behaviour is making a real difference. Staff are not only managing behaviour effectively in the moment – they’re actively shaping a culture of safety, respect, and emotional regulation.

The reduction in incidents is a clear sign that the strategies being used every day – from dynamic risk assessments to quiet, purposeful redirection – are working. The school community is seeing the impact of these efforts in the form of improved student engagement and a more positive atmosphere.

With continued focus and teamwork, this progress is expected to build further, strengthening the foundations for learning and wellbeing for all.
