Wellbeing and Inclusion 

SWPBS

Have you noticed the SWPBS Expected Behaviour Standards displayed around the school?

These statements help our students understand the behaviours expected of everyone at Karoo. A consistent understanding of these expectations is important, as it supports students to thrive both socially and emotionally.

Each week, we focus on one of our School-Wide Positive Behaviour Expectations (SWPBS) to ensure students have the opportunity to learn about, discuss, and practise that behaviour. This weekly focus supports their learning by creating a calm and respectful environment and helps unite our school community through shared values and consistent expectations.

Some of our expected behaviour focuses for this term include:– 

• We respect all voices – Kindness
• We listen actively to the speaker – Personal Excellence
• We embrace a challenge – Tenacity
• We seek help when needed – Safety

Families play an important role in supporting these expectations. You can help by talking with your child about the weekly focus, asking questions like “What does this look like at school?” or “How can we show this at home?” These conversations strengthen the connection between school and home, helping students see the value of positive behaviour in all areas of their life.
