Positive Learning 

PBL

Our school is a Positive Behaviour for Learning school which means that our behaviour management, student recognition and school expectation systems are based on the PBL framework. As a PBL school and in line with this framework, we aim to maximise students learning outcomes by promoting positive student behaviour, having practices in place that maintain a climate of mutual respect and setting clear and concise expectations for student behaviour in all settings of our school.

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.
