"Thank you. If I can be of any further help to you, just phone." The office is the centre of
activity and the busiest person at the school is Mr. Angus MacLennan, principal. Assisted
by a super secretary, Mrs. Doris Harrison, the school runs very efficiently.
Consistent discipline is. goal
BY A. MacLENNAN
At Robertson, our focus is on encouraging
appropriate behaviour. Fair, firm and con-
sistent discipline is our goal.
The many pupil responsibilities have been
listed as three main reminders for the
school year: 1. Be Punctual and Be
prepared; 2. Show Respect to People and for
Property; 3. Always, Remember Your Good
Manners.
Sometimes it is necessary to pinpoint
more specifically some of the expectations,
although they still can be positive
statements: 1. Walk in the halls; 2. Use ap-
propriate language; 3. Keep your hands to
yourself; 4. Move outside for recess; 5.
Dress in an appropriate' manner; 6. Leave
the stones on the ground. -
Robertson has developed a school code of
behaviour which has had input from
parents, students and staff members. It is
divided into three sections that not only list
"Expected Behaviour",but also "Reason
for Behaviour" and "Possible
Consequences".
Only occasionally, is it necessary to issue
negative reminders like the following: 1. No
fighting; .2. No wrestling holds; 3. No
pushing, shoving or tripping; 4. No rough
play; 5. No tree or fence climbing.
There are at least two areas where the
school's discipline and group co-operation
can quickly be determined. One is noise
levels in the halls and the other is noise
levels at an assembly. In the school year
that we are just starting, both have been
very, very good.
At Robertson, we have hundreds of super
students. who show excellent co-operation.
Communications are stressed
BY A. MacLENNAN
Communications are a major goal for our
school this year and the development of our
theme "Our School and Our Community -
Growing Together". The most effective
regular method of school and home com
munications is the monthly parents newslet-
ter, Round Up.
It -is usually a lou pagelold-over-newslet-
ter with our -familiar theme or logo on the
front along with the Round Up Cowboy. The
newsletter contains numerous pictures and
tries to present items in an attractive and
readable way. Many up coming activities
are noted along with details of at least some
of the events of the last month.
We try to publish the Round Up Newslet-
ter -close to -the -first of each month. = -
Bike safety rules are important
BY A. MacLENNAN
Many students bring bikes to school. It is
important that the young people remember
a few safety rules and other responsibilities
regarding bikes.
Boys and girls, remember your traffic
rules and regulations. Be careful and watch
where you are going. Do not ride double and
always keep your hands on the. handle bars
to be safe.
If you do not have a licence for your bike,
take a dollar to the police station on West
Street and obtain one. Be sure that You have
a lock for your bike at school and be sure to -•
use it.
Leave the bike parked at school and never
touch or ride another person's bike at
school.
