Positive Education @ Anson

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL)

Every Friday afternoon students participate in PBL lessons to practise using positive behaviours in all areas of the school. There are whole-school behavioural expectations that apply across all areas as well as specific behavioural expectations that focus on areas such as the playground, gym, spa, hallways, bus travel and outings. Lessons are structured to include teaching, modelling, role play (practise), reflection and feedback. Lessons include social skills, social stories, rule reminders and self-reflection. The PBL focus forms the basis for each lesson.

The current PBL Focus is - 

Be Safe: Right place, right time!

Our school is focused on teaching the character pillars of kindness, gratitude, curiosity and hope. Mindfulness is an important part of teaching students to focus their attention for learning.  

Each day, Mrs Georgie van Bockom Maas puts up on the staff communication program, Sentral an Awesome Fact as part of our Be Curious strategic direction.  Here are some examples.
