Report

SWPBS

Our Expected Behaviour Matrix, Instructional Model, Responding to Inappropriate Behaviours Flow Chart,  Active Learner Matrix and Upstander Matrix are all examples of our Tier 1 supports.  Sometimes we identify students who require extra supports above and beyond our Tier 1 supports.  If your child requires extra supports (Tier 2 ) they will be part of our Check In Check Out system, where goals devised by both student and homeroom teacher are formed and at the end of every class a CICO occurs with the teacher on whether the student has achieved those goals.  It your child has been identified as requiring Tier 2 supports, the following letter will be sent home.

Tier 2 Supports

SWPBS is a multi-tiered framework; we currently have Tier 1 supports in place that are for all of our students. These include: 

• Our Expected Behaviour Matrix

• Responding to Inappropriate Behaviours

• Upstander Matrix 

• Creating Successful Classrooms 

• Student Reinforcement Matrix. 

Tier 1 'differentiated and explicit teaching for all students', or school-wide interventions, are the critical foundation for SWPBS. Interventions are at the whole-school level and are provided to all students across academic, emotional and behaviour dimensions of learning.

Tier 2 or 'focused' interventions support approximately 15% of students in a typical school who are not responding to Tier 1 and who have moderate, ongoing behaviours of concern (social, behavioural and academic). Support is provided through additional Tier 2 or "targeted" level interventions. The focus of Tier 2 is to reduce the number of existing students requiring additional support.

Your child has been identified as requiring Tier 2 supports, this will initially involve a 4-week cycle starting Term 1 Week 5 2026. This involves a Check In Check Out (CICO), where goals are set by the student and homeroom teacher at the start of each day/week. An additional CICO then takes place at the end of the day to discuss the successes and areas of improvement needed. 

Hopefully, after the 4-week cycle of CICO your child will have adjusted and will now only require Tier 1 supports. Alternatively, if not successful further Tier 2 supports will be put in place.

Any concerns feel free to call.
