High Five Shop

At Albanvale Primary School, School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) aims to create and maintain a positive, safe and supportive learning environment where every student can maximise their academic and social growth.

One way we encourage positive behaviour is through our High Five Card system, which recognises students who demonstrate our school values of Respect, Responsibility and Collaboration.

Our SWPBS Year 6 Young Leaders have answered some questions to help explain how the system works!

What are High Five Cards and how do you earn them?

We earn High Five Cards by demonstrating our school values of Respect, Responsibility and Collaboration. Our whole-school Behaviour Expectations Matrix shows us what these values look like in different areas of our school, both inside and outside the classroom. When we show these values and follow our school expectations, any teacher can recognise our positive behaviour by giving us a High Five Card and a high five!

What is the High Five Shop?

Our High Five Shop is where we can exchange our High Five Cards for a range of prizes, including sports equipment, craft supplies, puzzles, toys and other exciting items. Each item has a different cost, with prizes ranging from 25 to 200 High Five Cards.

The shop opens at lunchtime every Tuesday and Thursday, with a different year level getting the opportunity to visit. We get to visit two to three times per term, which gives us time to save up our cards for a bigger prize if we want to!

What happens to the High Five Cards once we've spent them?

When we buy something from the High Five Shop, our spent cards are collected and sorted into buckets representing our school house colours. All our collected cards contribute towards earning a whole-school reward! During assemblies, we pour the cards into our High Five Card Tower to see how close we are to reaching our goal. We're incredibly close to earning this year's reward, so keep earning those High Five Cards!

What do our SWPBS Young Leaders do?

As Year 6 SWPBS Young Leaders, we have lots of important jobs to help keep our High Five system running! These include:

• Helping students count their cards when they want to buy something
• Organising the prizes to keep our shop neat and tidy
• Unpacking new items that have been ordered
• Surveying students across our school to find out what they would like to see in the shop 
• Creating our High Five Shop catalogue and displays (you can see the latest catalogue below)
• Sharing SWPBS updates with everyone during assemblies

Our High Five Card system is a wonderful way to recognise positive behaviour, encourage students to live our school values and celebrate what we can achieve together. We look forward to seeing our tower fill up as our students continue to demonstrate Respect, Responsibility and Collaboration every day!
