Positive Behaviour for Learning, known as PBL is an evidence based whole school, multi-tiered systems approach. At Ngunnawal Primary this looks like:

Consistent behaviour expectations.

• Consistent language and approaches to support positive behaviour choices
• Explicit lessons used to teach behaviour expectations with opportunities to practise appropriate behaviours in classroom and on the playground
  

At Ngunnawal Primary School our whole school expectations are:

We are Safe

We are Respectful

We are Responsible Learners

As we start the new year, classes are busy developing their class set of expectations. These help students know what it looks like to be safe, respectful and responsible learners in the classroom and are referred to and reviewed frequently throughout the year.

As you walk around our school, you will notice our ‘All Setting Expectations’ are displayed prominently. These expectations apply to all areas of the school as well as when students venture beyond our gates on excursions, at carnivals and camps.

Classes have also been visiting various locations around the school to learn about the expected behaviours in each of these settings. As they complete each setting classes add stickers to our PBL wall and will receive a reward for learning about all the different settings in our school.

Please ask your child about the expectations in the classrooms and around the school.

Our Yunggi Bengals are back in 2024, with some new targets for bronze, silver and gold awards and a whole new level to achieve. Students will now have the opportunity to earn a Yunggi Bengal Badge if they have achieved a Rainbow award and 250 points across the year. Look out for more information on our new badges throughout the year.

PBL awards (Bronze, Silver and Gold) will be celebrated in cohort or class gatherings with Merit awards, Rainbow awards, Yunggi Bengal badges and other speciality awards presented in Assemblies.

As you are aware, we have been upgrading an area of our playground currently known as West Park. This is due to open in the coming weeks and will be a draw card for students with the slides, water play, and stage areas. As this is a new space, the PBL team, staff and students will work to develop a new set of Expectations for this playground zone. This process will lead into a full review of our matrix of expected behaviours. Look out for your opportunity to be involved in this process as the year goes along.
