School-wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) is a proactive approach based on a three-tiered model of prevention and intervention aimed at creating safe and effective schools.
Emphasis is placed on teaching desired behaviours and reinforcing positive social skills. We use an array of data to inform decision making and planning.
At Woodmans Hill, our SWPBS purpose statement is: “We purposefully foster a consistent and inclusive environment where self-determined, resilient and engaged students learn and grow.”
We have developed a matrix of positive behaviours that we expect all students to demonstrate whilst at school. This matrix covers different areas of the school and is focused on our school values.
