SWPBS: Whittlesea Primary School Expectations

Help Others Succeed

This week, we would like to put a spotlight on our third and equally as important WPS school expectation of 'Help Others Succeed'. This important schoolwide expectation focuses on how WPS students can have a positive impact on their fellow students, teachers, staff members, and greater school community. Our student-friendly posters, which are displayed in all classrooms, explain how students can demonstrate the expectation of 'Help Others Succeed'.

This School Expectation looks like, feels like and sounds like:

• Respect other peoples background's, voices, opinions, and feelings.
• Remember 'my space, your space', and keep your hands and feet to yourself.
• Be an upstander, not a bystander, encouraging others to do the right thing.
• Check in and support classmates and 'be there' for them.

We then break down what 'Help Others Succeed' can look like in different areas of the school or various aspects of learning.

For example:

• Learning Spaces: Respect everyone's right to teach and learn, listen when other people are speaking.
• Collaboration & Group Work: Work collaboratively when in small and large groups, equally share responsibility for group tasks, offer to work with others when required.
• Devices & Technology: Only touch your own device that you are allocate to use, report any unusual or unsafe online behaviours to a trusted adult.
• Moving Around the School/ Outside: Interact positively with others, use 'Work it Out' strategies if needed.
• Toilets: Respect people's privacy and personal space, play in spaces away from toilets.
• And always - Take responsibility for your actions.

Well done to all students who have received a Golden Ticket this week for showing the school expectation of 'Help Others Succeed'.
