St Joseph’s School promotes and values positive relationships. Our Whole School Approach to Positive Behaviour Support (WSAPBS) focuses on this. WSAPBS is inclusive of all members of our school community including teachers, students and families. We have established four School-Wide Expectations (SWE) and these are Respect, Resilience, Inclusiveness and Teamwork.  We understand that these SWE are expected from all members of our community 100% of the time.

Last year, during Lockdown, we created an amazing banner demonstrating our SWE in The Front Door Project and it stands proudly in the Mary MacKillop room reminding us of the positive community that we have here at St Joseph’s.

As an extension of this project, we would like to invite you to participate in another project that involves being creative and working together. The idea is to create a poster that displays how your family shows each of the SWE.  We suggest that your poster could include your family name and all 4 of the SWE.  Liza Marino has put together a poster showing examples of how the teachers live out the SWE.  Her poster includes a combination of photos and writing. You can present your poster however you like.
