POSITIVE BEHAVIOURS FOR LEARNING (PBL)

St Kevin’s Catholic School has adopted a Whole School Approach to bring about positive behaviour; Positive Behaviour for Learning [PBL]. This approach has a strong emphasis on teaching appropriate behaviours and providing systems of support to bring about these positive behaviours.

PBL is focused on proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviours to create a positive school environment. The aim of Positive Behaviour for Learning is to actively teach and reinforce desired behaviour while implementing consistent, reasonable, mostly positive intervention to address challenging behaviours. Preserving and building child’s self esteem and image as well as encouraging self monitoring of behaviour are vital components of the positive approach.

We have 4 school rules: At St Kevin's we are United in Love when We are Proud Learners, We are Safe, We are Respectful and We are Responsible.  Within each of these rules we have appropriate behaviours, which are explicitly taught each fortnight. 

We celebrate successes with weekly merit cards and a fortnightly PBL/Values award presented at assembly.
