Bells are not used at Bonython PS to identify the start and finish of learning and break times and announcements over the loud-speaker are kept to a minimum. Such practices interrupt the flow of learning and condition students and staff to be reliant on an external force for their time management and reminders/information. Having no bells contributes to students developing time management skills as self-managers and promotes a calmer learning environment.
