PBL

What is PBL?

Positive Behaviour for Learning, known as PBL, is an evidence-based whole school systems approach that:

• addresses the diverse academic and social needs of every student to support them to be successful
• supports students in early childhood settings through to senior years of schooling
• enables schools to establish a continuum of supports that are intensified to meet the needs of every student
• is team driven, using a problem solving approach (data, systems and practices) that engages students, parents and all school staff
• establishes positive social expectations for all in the school community
• provides a framework for the school and its community to collectively support the wellbeing of every students.

When implemented well:

• students respond positively as they have been taught what is expected of them
• staff deliver consistent responses to student learning and behaviour
• students feel safe and cared for at school. Their parents, family and community are more involved in their school
• unproductive and challenging behaviour can be significantly reduced for most students.

PBL at BAPS

In each newsletter this year, we will be including this PBL page to share our current focus, PBL updates, PBL rewards day information and anything else we'd love our community to know. To get us started, please look through the signage below which outlines our 3 core expectations, introduces our mascot Chippy, and our current behaviour and rewards systems.
