PBL

At SFS, our PBL (Positive Behaviours for Learning) school wide expectations are:

Respect,  Responsibility and Kindness

We have a whole school social skills lesson where we explicitly teach an expected behaviour from our Behaviour Expectation matrix. 

This week we have focused on Responsibility in hallways, office and corridors: Transition quietly. 

The teachers explained to the students why this behaviour is important. Quiet transitions show respect for others by avoiding interruptions and keeping everyone focused. It ensures safety by preventing accidents and keeping our learning space tidy. Moving calmly and listening to instructions helps us stay ready to learn. 

Here are some of our recent PBL raffle winners  who have been seen demonstrating school expected behaviours. 

Child Safety standards

To highlight the importance of Child Safety in schools, MACS (Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools) has created a resource called “11 standards in 11 months.” 

Let’s look at Child standard 10 in more detail through a newsletter created for parents and carers by MACS. Child safe standard 10 is the “implementation of the Child Safe standards is regularly reviewed and improved”.

If you have any concern about your child’s mental health or wellbeing, please do not hesitate to contact me or make a time to speak with me. My working days are Monday to Wednesday and Friday. Wishing everyone a safe and happy Term 2 holiday and I look forward to seeing everyone in Term 3.
