Positive Behaviours for Learning (PBL) 

We have had a very successful first term implementation of PBL at St Joseph’s. Students have enjoyed explicit PBL lessons, and we have seen much of their learning exhibited in both the classroom and playground. This term we have had a focus on: 

• Act Safely – Using safe hands and feet 
• Being Respectful – Including others 
• Care for all – Care for the place you are in 
• Do Your Best – Learn and let others learn 

Our PBL Dash Tokens have been a great way to instantly reward students when they demonstrate positive behaviour. Our current house token count for the final weeks of Term 1 sits at: 
 

Sports captains will complete our final count for the term next week, with the winning house to be announced then. Well done to all, for their efforts with our PBL this term!
