SWPBS Classroom Systems

Ask your children what they're doing after assembly for School-wide Positive Behaviour this term, and they may tell you about the classroom routines, rules and expectations they are negotiating with their teachers.  The process strongly activates student agency and voice.  The outcome is a classroom matrix that reflects our whole school matrix values; Learning, Respect, Resilience and Teamwork. The settings within each class are; 'whole group learning, small group learning, transitions, independent learning and when I need assistance'.  Students are acknowledged for demonstrating their class matrix expectations and we will share the excitement/'BUZZ' in our next newsletter.

Classroom Systems aims to improve: 

• student behaviour through consistency and explicitly stated behaviour

• academic achievement and individual student outcomes

• student engagement and increased time on task for students and teachers by minimising classroom disruptions

• wellbeing of students, and

• student voice.

We are looking forward to sharing the journey from various perspectives this term.  There will be student surveys, as well as parent/carer surveys where you will have an opportunity to share feedback from your child/children.   Look out for some displays around the school that will show the entire process.
