Step 1. WARNING- Maintain good tone and send a clear message.

Step 2. Student is moved to another class space, to break the cycle of behaviour. Supervision is to be maintained by the classroom teacher.

Step 3. Student is removed from the classroom until the end of the session. Supervision is to be maintained by support staff.
