Learning the Westall Way

Westall Secondary College is committed to providing a safe, supportive and inclusive environment for all members of the school community. Our ‘Westall Way’ encompasses our approach to our school values, teaching and learning, wellbeing and behaviour practices.  

At Westall, our teachers encourage students to set high expectations of themselves. To best support this, we have a set of learning behaviours that align with our school ‘CARE values’, with a reward system in place to encourage students to adopt the learning behaviours, and a consistent approach for behaviour management.

Westall Points

Westall is committed to a ‘School-Wide Positive Behaviour Approach’ to create a positive school environment that leads to improved behavioural and academic outcomes. During the academic year, Westall Points can be earned for consistently demonstrating one or more of the Westall Way Learning Behaviours, or for a one-off achievement that demonstrates students are showcasing the ‘CARE values’.  

Students accumulate points over their academic year and are acknowledged at our year-level assemblies as they work their way up the ‘Westall Points Wall of Achievement’.
