School Wide Positive Behaviour 

School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) is an evidenced based framework. It is a plan to enable the goals of the school to be achieved. Bendigo Primary School’s plan is to provide a positive school climate, and create a supportive environment for personal, social and academic learning, by teaching, recognising and rewarding the expected behaviours. By acknowledging what someone is doing correctly, we can improve behaviour by 80%! To learn better ways of behaving students must be directly taught the behaviours. To retain new behaviours, students must be given specific, positive feedback and opportunities to practice in a variety of settings where the behaviours are used.

SWPBS is a system and individualised approach, to ensure everyone understands the expectations and they are implemented fairly and consistently. We provide additional support for students who need it, just as we do learning needs.
