Our staff are committed to delivering a high quality education for every student, and believe all adults in the school, whether visiting or working, should meet the same four expectations in place for students, being Successful Learners, Take Responsibility, Act Safely, Respect Everyone (S.T.A.R.)
Below are examples of what these S.T.A.R. expectations look like for students across the school. In addition, each classroom will have their own set of examples to help students and visitors understand the expectations and meet the standards we hold for everyone at Grand Avenue State School.

Student Wellbeing- Zones of Regulation:
Grand Avenue State School teachers the Zones of Regulation through targeted lessons in every classroom. The Zones of Regulation is a complete social-emotional learning curriculum, created to teach students self-regulation and emotional control. The Zones use four colours to help students self-identify how they're feeling and categorise it based on colour. The curriculum also helps students better understand their emotions, sensory needs, and thinking patterns. They learn different strategies to help them cope and manage their emotions based on which colour zone they are working in. Additionally, the Zones helps students recognise their own triggers, learn to read facial expressions, develop problem-solving skills, and become more attuned to how their actions affect other people.
