Whole School Approach to Positive Behavior Support  (WSAPBS) 

This is an evidence-based framework that outlines our school wide system of social and behavioural expectations as well as providing explicit teaching to support the development of key relationship skills.

During Term 3, we will continue to work through our School Wide Expectations (SWE).  This will involve revising Respect and then learning more about what it means to be Resilient, Inclusive and then being a Team Worker.

For the next two weeks, we will be focusing on what it means to be resilient and what this would look like in our school.  The children will reflect on how and where we might see resilience.  This SWE will be taught through explicit teaching and through opportunities to practise being resilient in a variety of ways such as through drama and in a variety of scenarios.  Students will be encouraged to be problem solvers and practise implementing 'keeping calm' strategies when they are trying to learn something new or when they are trying to master a skill that is tricky for them.  

At St Joseph's School we will try to remember that anything worth learning takes time.  So keep at it and don't give up!
