Positive Behaviours for Learning (PBL)

Congratulations to the Red Sports Colour House for achieving the most tokens in the first half of Term 3! We will continue to give tokens out for this second half of the term to support our focus on our four PBL expectations

• Act Safely
• Be Respectful
• Care for All
• Do Your Best

This last fortnight our focus has been Care for All: Care for yourself and others. Students have used this time to consider how they can care for themselves and others physically, emotionally and spiritually

Congratulations to the following students who received a PBL Award this fortnight: Louis B (KG), Audrey R (KB), Nara P (1B), Ray C (1G), Alexandra F (2B), Hugo C (2G), Amie R (3B), Angeline J (3G), Tyler O (4B), Ruby P (4G), Emeriss A (5B), Ava K (5G), Bailar G (6B) and Audrey J (6G)

Safeguarding - ‘Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility’

National Child Protection Week

In 2024, the National Child Protection Week message that ‘Every child in every community needs a fair go’ will be complemented with the theme ‘Every conversation matters’.

Conversations are powerful tools to keep children and young people safe and well.

Conversations can help us understand issues, craft solutions, value community knowledge, and build the brains and social connections of children and young people.

Conversations between
…children and their caregivers matter (from the very earliest days)
…children and their peers matter
…families with teachers, doctors, and other professionals matter
…friends or neighbours matter                                                                               …decision-makers and the communities they serve matter.

And, of course, conversations in the public realm and media matter…

So, this National Child Protection Week we invite you to speak up – and speak together – about what needs to change for every child in every community to have a fair go.

This theme provides a platform to:

• engage in important conversations,
• promote the value of conversations, and
• equip us to have conversations that keep kids safe
