As a College, we have recognised the importance of relationships, how we manage them, and how we repair relationships when they have broken down. We believe a common language is central to this process, and our move to embrace Restorative Practice offers just this. At the core is the belief that everyone is inherently worthy and that our connection to one another is what matters most.
A restorative approach will focus on what happened, who has been harmed, and what needs to happen to make things right? In short, Restorative Practice recognises that when wrongdoing occurs and poor choices have been made, then often relationships have been damaged. Before we can move on, these relationships must be repaired.
