Principal's Report

Dear Families,

The weeks are rolling by quickly! Below are some highlights of the past week.

School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS)

I am proud to announce that Fitzroy North Primary School has achieved fidelity for the SWPBS program in the category of ‘High’.

School-wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) is a globally recognised, evidence-based framework that helps schools create safe, positive, and inclusive environments where students and staff can thrive.

SWPBS helps schools to:

• increase respectful and positive behaviour
• strengthen social and emotional wellbeing
• reduce classroom disruptions and increase learning time
• build positive, respectful relationships between students and staff
• create safe, orderly, and supportive school environments.

Schools implementing SWPBS:

• use inclusive, evidence-based strategies to support all students
• form teams to guide implementation and maintain momentum
• provide ongoing training and coaching to staff
• partner with students, families, and communities to ensure fairness and consistency
• use data to monitor progress and improve practices.

Battle of the Bands

Congratulations to the parent band ‘Backstreet Roys’ for competing in The Battle of the Bands last Thursday night. From all reports, it was a great community event. Well done! 

Child Safe reminder

Families must refrain from walking through the buildings during classes unless directed by a Fitzroy North Staff member. It is important that we keep track of people on-site; especially, with the building works in action.

Kind regards,

Nick England

Acting Principal
