School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) is an evidence-based whole-school framework that provides the school with an approach to improve all student's social, emotional, behavioural and academic outcomes. When SWPBS is implemented well, teachers and students can focus on relationships and classroom instruction.
Students and staff benefit from the following:
The SWPBS Student Handbook was developed as a classroom resource for students. The handbook summarises the processes and procedures designed to promote positive behaviour.
Our Behaviour Matrix clearly outlines the expected behaviours of students at Stevensville Primary. Clear, positive behaviours have been identified and displayed across the school, and every student has a copy of the matrix they can refer to.
The expected behaviours are explicitly taught within the classroom at the beginning of the school year.
Stevensville has developed a Values Card system to acknowledge expected behaviour and promote commitment from all community members.
Teachers and staff hand out values cards to students who display the expected behaviours outlined in the matrix. Students who receive a values card are entered into a draw to be acknowledged at assembly. Weekly winners are entered into another mega draw at the end of each term.
