School-Wide Positive Behaviour Learning (PBL)
School-Wide Positive Behaviour Learning (PBL) is an
Education Queensland initiative that fosters responsible student behaviour
through a unified, school-wide behaviour program. For consistency all school
rules are taught around 3 expectations which, at SLSS are;
- We are Cooperative
- We are Peaceful
- We are Respectful
A consistent set of expectations across the school ensures
that students are directly aware of what is required regarding their behaviour
at school. As behaviour is closely linked with effective learning it is
essential that children learn and develop the expected behaviour of the school.
The PBL focus is on
positive behaviours.
Weekly Lessons
Each week, all students are taught a behaviour concept or
skill relating to the school-wide expectations to foster and improve our safe,
supportive school setting.
Instant Rewards
Coop Coins are given by any member on staff as an instant reward
for demonstrating appropriate behaviour.
School-Wide Positive Reward System
Details on our revised system will be posted soon.
How is inappropriate
behaviour dealt with in PBL
While the focus of PBL is on positive behaviour, usual
consequences, as outlined in the school’s Responsible Behaviour Plan, apply for
inappropriate behaviour.
Our school provides programs such as the Discovery Centre to
help children develop strategies to use in the playground. PBL has been shown
to support appropriate student behaviour through a wide range of unified
approaches, thereby leading to a happier, more harmonious school.
