This three tier style of delivery was developed at Mary MacKillop Primary, South Penrith in 2004. The design of the MacKillop Model of Restorative Practices was the result of our collaboration with Terry O’Connell of Real Justice, Australia.
The model recognises that consistency in response to behaviour has the potential to create a safe learning space. When teachers, students and parents respond to wrong doing in the same way, that is, seeing aberrant behaviour as an opportunity for learning, then a passionate and peaceful learning environment is created.
2. Embedding and sustaining Restorative Practices in schools with continued Leadership and team development.
