Respect. Pride. Safety.
Term 2 2013 sees us commence the implementation of the Positive Behaviour for Learning Program. The Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) is a school-wide behaviour initiative currently used in many schools in New South Wales and across Australia. It employs a whole school systems approach to address problem behaviour and reduce its effects on student outcomes and on the school community as a whole. PBL encourages positive behaviour from students, which has been shown to improve their self-concept and motivation to learn.
Implementation of the PBL is a stages process and has to be carried out with consultation from the parents and community. Recently, a survey was conducted in order to determine the community's preferences for PBL values. The results can be found below.
The survey determined that the community felt the three most important values were Respect, Safety, and Pride. Consequently, these will now be adopted as the core values of Toomelah Public School.
This is an outstanding program that will ensure that our students are in a positive consistent learning environment. We encourage you to have an input into our school.
Our students are our future. Let's make it great for them!
