Positive Behaviour for Learning

Every child has the right to learn and every teacher has the right to teach. 

        Lesson Plan: Playing Safely and Respectfully in the Hall 

Step 1: List Learning Intentions and Success Criteria

We are learning to :

• Play in the hall safely and respectfully 
• Play with equipment the way the equipment was intended to be played with
• Pack up after ourselves

It will look like:

• Everyone sharing equipment
• Students taking turns 
• Everyone helping to pack up the hall before leaving 
• Showing respect to the play equipment and to others 

Step 2:  List a rationale for teaching the behaviour 

Why is it important?

Holy Rosary School Values: 

Relationships, Respect, Resilience, Integrity, Kindness.

Holy Rosary School Expectations: 

Safety is our right. Learning is our responsibility. Respect is our way.
