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, and respectful 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, and respectful, we create a school where everyone can learn, grow, and feel valued.
