Positive Behaviours for Learning

At SFS, our PBL (Positive behaviours for learning) school wide expectations are:

Respect, 

Responsibility and 

Kindness

The whole school has a PBL lesson on a Monday at 1pm. This week we have focused on Kindness in the learning space: Encourage and support others.

Here are some of our lucky PBL raffle winners from last Friday. It is wonderful to see so many children demonstrating our school values.

Child Safe Standards

The Child Safe Standards aim to protect children and young people, by requiring organisations to put policies, procedures and processes in place to prevent and respond to abuse. They aim to make keeping children and young people safe. There are 11 standards.

Standard 3 

Our organisation must: • tell children about their rights to: – safety – information – take part in decisions about them 

• understand and encourage the importance of friendships. This helps children to feel safe

 • offer programs and information to children about how to prevent sexual abuse 

• make sure that staff and volunteers can: – identify signs of child abuse and harm in children – help children to talk openly and to talk about things that worry them 

• help children to be involved in your organisation 

• act on what children tell you so that they feel safe and want to stay involved in your organisation. 

If you have any concerns about the wellbeing of your child, please do not hesitate to contact me. Wishing you and your families a very happy, holy and safe Easter holiday break. I look forward to working with you all in term 2.
