Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL)
What is PBL?
PBL is a whole-school approach to creating a positive, safe and supportive school climate in which all students can learn and develop. In schools where PBL is implemented well, teachers, executive and family members work together to teach and support behaviour expectations at school. PBL is implemented to improve the learning and wellbeing of all students in all school settings. Every part of a school, including the classrooms, corridors, canteen, school gates and buses, are considered integral to the total learning environment.
Schools implementing PBL clearly define and display their behavioural expectations and positively acknowledge students for those behaviours. All staff are responsible for knowing the behaviour expectations, providing consistent positive feedback to students, and delivering consistent corrective feedback and consequences when expectations are not followed.
Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) at PCPS
At Point Clare Public School, Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) is our whole-school approach to creating a safe, respectful and supportive environment where every student can learn and thrive.
Our PBL framework is built around our core values:
- Respect – We are kind, inclusive and considerate of others, our environment and ourselves.
- Responsibility – We make safe, sensible choices and take ownership of our actions and learning.
- Personal Best – We try hard, keep going when things are challenging and take pride in our efforts.
- clearly teach and model our expectations in all areas of the school
- explicitly teach what Respect, Responsibility and Personal Best look like in the classroom, playground and online
- recognise and celebrate positive behaviour and achievements
- support students to develop social, emotional and self-management skills
- respond to behaviour in a fair, consistent and supportive way.
By working together with students, staff and families, PBL at PCPS helps create a calm, predictable and positive school culture where every child feels safe, valued and encouraged to do their personal best.
