School Wide Positive Engagement and Behaviour Support - (SWPEBS)

The School Wide Positive Engagement and Behaviour Support (SWPEBS) program is an essential part of our teaching and learning at Yarrabah, and is embedded in all areas of the curriculum. The program relates specifically to our four School rules.

Yarrabah's SWPEBS Purpose Statement

"At Yarrabah School we foster school-wide positive behaviour. We provide students with opportunities to experience, model, and practice social behaviour. Our goal is for all students to develop skills necessary for positive personal and community interactions."

This term our school wide focus will be on the school rule "I will be responsible". These are the behaviours we expect from each other and our students.
