Competition is heating up!!!!  

You can't see which class is winning but it will be very close - At the end of the term, the class with most tokens in their jar will choose a reward.  Each day, if there is 100% attendance in a particular class, one counter is added to the class jar.

The Senior Hands-On group started painting thier caddies last week.  We would like to thank Crystal and Leigh Morris from MBM Designs in Kyabram for cutting and providing the group with their caddies.

PBIS 

This is our 'School Wide Expectations' regarding behaviour, we refer to it as our 'Behaviour Matrix'

This Matrix is displayed in every classroom at St Patrick's.  

The Teachers explicitly teach these to the students. 

Our PBIS Blitz is:  

PBIS Blitz: Be an Upstander, Not a Bystander 

Good morning everyone, 

Today we are talking about being an upstander, not a bystander. 

A bystander is someone who sees something unkind or unsafe happening but does nothing about it. An upstander is someone who chooses to help make the situation better. 

At our school, we want everyone to feel safe, respected and included. Being an upstander helps make that happen. 

So what does an upstander do? 

• Speak up if someone is being treated unfairly. You might say, “That’s not okay.” 
• Support the person who might be feeling upset. You could invite them to play or sit with you. 
• Get help from an adult if something doesn’t feel right or if someone is being hurt. 
• Show kindness and respect to everyone in our school.

Remember, you don’t have to solve the problem by yourself. Being an upstander might simply mean telling a teacher or helping someone feel included. 

When we choose to be upstanders, we show our school values, we look after each other, and we make our school a better place for everyone. 

So today, if you see someone who needs help, remember: Be brave, be kind, and be an upstander.
