School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support

Promoting Positive Behaviour at Dandenong South Primary School

At Dandenong South Primary School, we promote positive behaviours through School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS). This research-based approach helps us create a safe, supportive, and positive learning environment for all students.

Why SWPBS Matters:

With SWPBS, students and teachers benefit from:

• Clear expectations across the school
• Better behaviour and more time for learning
• Stronger relationships between students and staff
• A safe and predictable school environment
• Improved wellbeing and attendance

Our Behaviour Matrix:

Our Behaviour Matrix sets out how students can be safe,responsible, andrespectful in different areas:

• Classroom  | Moving around the school | Playground
• Toilets | Assembly | Excursions/Camps | Online

The matrix is displayed around the school and discussed regularly to ensure everyone knows what’s expected.

Celebrating Positive Behaviour:

Teachers recognise and reward positive behaviour through:

• Verbal praise
• Stickers or stamps
• Whole-class rewards
• Certificates at school assemblies

Fostering a Positive School Community:At Dandenong South Primary School, we celebrate the positive choices our students make every day. By following our values of beingsafe, responsible, andrespectful, we create a school where everyone can learn, grow, and feel valued.
