Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL)

Positive Behaviour for Learning, known as PBL, is an evidence-based whole school systems approach that:

• addresses the diverse academic and social needs of every student to support them to be successful
• supports students in early childhood settings through to senior years of schooling
• enables schools to establish a continuum of supports that are intensified to meet the needs of every student
• is team driven, using a problem solving approach (data, systems and practices) that engages students, parents and all school staff
• establishes positive social expectations for all in the school community
• provides a framework for the school and its community to collectively support the wellbeing of every students.

When implemented well:

• students respond positively as they have been taught what is expected of them
• staff deliver consistent responses to student learning and behaviour
• students feel safe and cared for at school. Their parents, family and community are more involved in their school
• unproductive and challenging behaviour can be significantly reduced for most students.

Each fortnight, students engage in PBL lessons which focus on different aspects of schooling. These lessons give students examples of what positive behaviour looks like is particular settings and gives them the tools to be successful learners. When students are showing positive behaviour and encouraging others to do the same, they can earn PBL Tickets. These tickets are then placed into a barrel to be drawn weekly for prizes. If you would like to know more about PBL at BAPS, please follow the link to our web page.  https://brookeave-p.schools.nsw.gov.au/pbl.html
