Positive Behaviours for Learning
We are so excited to be launching Positive Behaviours for Learning (PBL) with the students and school community in Term 3. PBL is a framework that we will be using to teach the children about expected behaviours in different parts of the school.
The children will have a weekly social skills lesson on a Monday identifying a specific social skill we would like the children to learn and practice around our school expectations of
RESPECT
RESPONSIBILITY and
KINDNESS
We are now in the process of developing a matrix of social skills we would like to teach. e.g. What does respect look like in the learning space?
We will have our PBL launch day on Monday 25th July. A big thanks to the P and F who have arranged for a toastie truck to come to SFS for a special lunch on the day. Please make sure that you return your form and money by Tuesday 19th July.
The children are allowed to come dressed in their brightest casual clothes to celebrate the day.
If the children have a T shirt or a jumper with a positive slogan or message they might like to wear that. The children will learn more about what PBL is all about, participate in their launch lesson learning a particular social skill and participate in other activities related to PBL and our key expectations.
We will have a special assembly on Monday 25th July at 2.30pm for PBL, parents are most welcome to attend in Learning Space 3. We are all excited about our special launch day!
