Springwood Road State School uses a multi-tiered system of support for discipline, Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) and our core focus is on being Safe Respectful and Learners. This whole-school positive approach to discipline underpins every program offered through the school, including sporting activities and excursions.
PBL is an evidence-based framework used to:
• analyse and improve student behaviour and learning outcomes
• ensure that only evidence-based practices are used correctly by teachers to support all students
• continually support staff members, students and parents to maintain consistent school and classroom improvement practices.
At Springwood Road State School we believe discipline is about explicitly teaching students the skills needed to make prosocial behaviour choices to improve outcomes for all. Teachers create and maintain positive, trusting relationships and teach appropriate behaviours via fortnightly PBL lessons.
The development of the Springwood Road State School Student Code of Conduct is an opportunity to; explain the PBL framework to students, staff, parents, community members and gain their support to implement a consistent approach to teaching behaviour. The language and expectations of PBL can be used in any environment, including the home. Doing everything we can do to set students up for success is a shared goal of our whole school community.
Our staff are committed to delivering robust authentic learning programs for every student, and believe all adults in the school, whether visiting or working, should meet the same PBL expectations in place for students: Safe Respectful Learners
