PBS Matrix

Karie Hullen - 

In 2022 the College commenced a review of our behaviour matrix. Our original matrix was created in 2018, so the review is timely. During the review process our behaviour expectations were updated to: respectful, responsible, learning and community. These behaviour expectations align closely with our school values. Below is our new matrix. We are currently seeking feedback from our community about the new matrix. We want to ensure that our matrix meets the needs of our entire community. Your feedback is important and valued. 

 

If you have a question, suggestion or general feedback about the below matrix please contact Karie Hullin via email karie.hullin@education.vic.gov.au or phone 03 5996 3544.
