PBIS

This fortnight’s whole school focus is on our Slow Zones. Teachers will be explicitly teaching the routine to children on the expected behaviours when children are eating. Teachers will follow the principles of PBIS (Positive Behaviours Interventions & Supports) by:

Teach - Teach the appropriate skills and behaviours

Model - Model to students the appropriate skills and behaviours

Practice - Practice by acting out role plays

Acknowledge - Teachers will acknowledge students when they demonstrate the behaviours by positive reinforcement

Correct - By extra social skill instruction where needed.

 

Please discuss this routine with your child/ren emphasising how we use our Slow Zones.

Meet our 2025 Class Reps

OurClass Reps are a valuable communication and coordination link in our school community representing each classroom. Reps work with the staff and school community to provide a caring and supportive environment for all families in our school.  The Class reps nurture the classes so that the parents feel connected to the class/school/each other.
