PB4L Positive Behaviour for Learning

PB4L is a whole-school approach designed to create a positive, inclusive, and respectful learning environment where every student can thrive.

PB4L is about teaching and reinforcing positive behaviour to help students succeed socially, emotionally, and academically. Through clear expectations and positive reinforcement, PB4L promotes a safe and engaging learning atmosphere. Schools using PB4L see improvements in student engagement, learning outcomes and overall well-being. When students know what's expected and are recognised for meeting those expectations. they feel more motivated and supported. 

What does this mean for students?

• Students will be taught clear behaviour expectations for different areas of the school (like the playground, classroom, and library).
• From 2025, 'Gotchas' will be replaced by 'Joeys' 
• Joey's will be given out based on our school values, e.g. Respectful, Responsible, Service and reflect the desired behaviours.
• In addition to individual Joey's, students will receive a token for their house. The house with the most tokens at the end of each term gets a special reward! This means that students will work together to create a school environment where Respect, Responsibility and Service thrive.
• Houses now reflect the charisms reflected at our school. McAuley, MacKillop, Joseph and Francis.
