PBL

Promoting Positive Behaviour for Learning.

As a PBL school LIHS rewards students who are respectful, responsible and safe in every setting.

 

Our school values:

 

RESPECT ⎜RESPONSIBILITY ⎜SAFETY

 

HAVE A POSITIVE APPROACH

SPEAK IN A POSITIVE MANNER

HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE

 

We show RESPECT by being tolerant and accepting of everyone, being polite and considerate of others, using appropriate language and wearing the school uniform.

 

We show RESPONSIBILITY by being at the right place, right time, staying on task in class and being prepared, following procedures and instructions including putting rubbish in the bin and caring for our surroundings.

 

We show SAFETY by following instructions, keeping our hands to your self and having a smoke free zone.

Focus Value: RESPONSIBILITY

Our current PBL focus is Responsibility, specifically class expectations. This means:

 

                        Being prepared and ready to learn

                        Being polite and using positive language

                        Being in the right place at the right time while doing the right thing

                        Always listening, following instructions and waiting your turn

 

It is important to remember that trying is succeeding and that we learn from our mistakes.
