School wide positive behaviour support (SWPBS)

At Wooranna Park Primary School we are committed to a school wide positive behaviour support (SWPBS). This is an evidence-based framework for Victorian government schools, aimed at creating a positive, safe and supportive learning culture.

Our school wide approach helps to ensure teachers and students have more time to focus on relationships and classroom instruction. Students and staff benefit from:

increased respectful and positive behaviour
increased time focused on instruction
improved social-emotional wellbeing
positive and respectful relationships among students and staff
increased adoption of evidence-based instructional practices
a predictable learning environment with improved perceptions of safety and increased attendance

Our students know these expectations as our school's basics:

Be respectful
Be responsible
Be safe

These basics are captured in our school's Matrix of Expectations.
