Yugumbir State School is committed to providing a safe, respectful and disciplined learning environment for students and staff. At YSS we SOAR by being Safe,
Outstanding Learners, Always Responsible and Respectful. Yugumbir State School
is a Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) School.
What
is PBL?
Positive
Behaviour for Learning (PBL) is a system for behaviour management that is used
in schools all across the world.
So how does PBL work?
Rules and
expectations for behaviour are very clearly set out for each area of the
school. These rules and expectations are based around our four SOAR
expectations.
The
PBL framework recognises that appropriate behaviour often has to be explicitly
taught. Yugumbir has focus behaviour every fortnight that is taught in every
class across the school.
The PBL framework
requires consistent processes for managing students who breach school rules.
A PBL
Reward System is put in place where students are acknowledged for positive
behaviour.
Support
Some
students require additional support and focused teaching to understand or
follow the school expectations. A small percentage of students may receive
targeted individualized support using a Functional Behaviour Analysis (FBA)
approach where behaviour is seen as a form of communication to obtain or escape
something. FBA aims to determine the motivation for a person’s behaviour and select
strategies to create behavioral change through proactive and preventative
processes.
The Responsible Behaviour Plan for Students is designed to facilitate high standards of behaviour so that the learning and teaching in our school can be effective and students can participate positively within our school community.
