Positive Behaviour for Learning -PBL 

Our Expectations- SMASH 

This term we are focusing on ‘Show Respect’. The settings in our school are Classroom Spaces, Transition Spaces, Outdoor Spaces, Community Spaces and Toilets. 

So far our St Michaels community has focused on:

• Show Respect in classroom spaces by showing whole-body listening.
• Show Respect in all spaces by speaking appropriately to others.
• Show Respect in all spaces by using your manners.
• Show Respect in all spaces by keeping to the left when passing pedestrians.
• Show Respect in classroom spaces by raising your hand and waiting patiently.

 Over the next couple of weeks we will be focusing on:

• Show Respect  in toilets by respecting others' privacy
• Show Respect  in all spaces by leaving spaces how you found them.

Positive Acknowledgement 

When a student displays these expectations anywhere in the school they are positively acknowledged. This can be in the form of a verbal acknowledgement or with a marble using the language of the Matrix of Expected Behaviour. Once the class fills the marble jar the whole class celebrates together. This celebration is determined by each individual class. Specialist classes will be using SMASH tickets that students will be able to bring home after adding a marble to their classes' marble jar. 

Child Safety

The poster below is placed around our St Michael’s community to remind our students about who they can come to if they are ever feeling unsafe. All classes have read through and discussed the importance of this poster and feeling safe at school. Please familiarise yourself with this poster.
