Responding to Positive Behaviour - Reward Update
Students are rewarded when they show the expected behaviour, and in term 1, we are continuing with our whole school reward system, led by our Community House Captains, who came up with the rewards. The students have voted for a whole school reward they would like to receive in term 1.
The Community House Captains announced the two winning rewards at assembly on Monday. They were a Free Dress Day or a Whole Year Level Game
This week, our focus has been on Moving Around the School. When students show the expected behaviour from our Matrix when moving around in the buildings and around the school, they can receive a token from a staff member. They can then vote for one of the two selected rewards. Each class can receive 5 tokens when they achieve their classroom goal. When one of the reward boxes is filled or when the tokens run out, students will receive the winning reward!
SWPBS Reward Update!!
We Have a Front-Runner! But only just!!
The votes are in, and the race is on! Right now, the reward leading the way is the Year Level Game.
It’s been wonderful to see students demonstrating our school-wide expectations by making positive choices, showing respect, and supporting one another across the school. Every token earned reflects students following expectations and contributing to a safe, inclusive, and positive learning environment.
Keep up the fantastic effort, P.O.P.S students! Every positive choice counts, and every token brings us closer to celebrating together. Let’s keep showing our expectations and cheering each other on as we head towards our whole-school reward
School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support
School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) is a whole-school framework that promotes positive behaviour, improves student wellbeing, and creates safe and supportive learning environments. This allows our school to create a positive and predictable environment where students know what’s expected.
It focuses on:
Teaching expected behaviours explicitly
Acknowledging positive behaviour consistently
Using data to guide decisions about student behaviour and support
POPS Matrix of Expected Behaviour
Our matrix of expected behaviour, which was developed by the teachers and students, is visible in each classroom and around the school. The matrix is split into different areas and explicitly teaches the students the expected behaviour for the different learning areas. Teachers and students are continually referring to the matrix and teaching the behaviours:
Behaviour Flow Chart
Students and teachers then created the behaviour flow chart. The behaviour flow chart lists minor and major behaviours and the steps the teacher or adult will follow when a student is not meeting the expected behaviour. This allows for a consistent approach when responding to minor and major behaviours:
