At SMDP, we believe that for high-quality learning to take place, students need a calm, predictable, and focused environment. This is why we officially implemented our Behaviour Curriculum in 2025.
You may have heard your children mentioning silent entries or specific transition routines. These aren’t just about discipline; they are based on cognitive science. By turning everyday movements into “automatic” routines, we free up a student’s working memory. When a child doesn’t have to wonder what to do next, they can dedicate 100% of their brain power to the lesson at hand.
To ensure success across all year levels, we:
- Break it down: We outline every step of a procedure clearly.
- Make it visual: Posters and reminders are placed throughout the school.
- Model it: We use video demonstrations so students can see exactly what success looks like.
