Create safe, orderly and supportive school environments.
SWPBS at Strathmore North Primary School
At Strathmore North Primary School we implement School Wide Positive Behaviour Systems (SWPBS). School Wide Positive Behaviour brings students, school staff and families together by setting clear expectations for behaviour and celebrating the positive choices our students make everyday. SWPBS is a school-wide approach that explicitly teachers and celebrates positive behaviours, helping all students to understand our share expectations.
Our School Wide Positive Behaviour Systems are underpinned by our 4 School Values:
Be Respectful
Be Responsible
Be Kind
Be Brave
SNPS Expected Behaviours Matrix:
Our Expected Behaviours Matrix outlines the behaviours we expect of students, aligned with our school values. Our matrix is divided into 3 areas: Me: which refers to the students independently. Places: which refers to different locations or areas throughout the school, for example: classrooms, specialist classes, in the yard, library etc... People: which refers to communicating or collaborating with others.
Our students are explicitly taught the Expected Behaviours from our matrix and encouraged to demonstrate appropriate behaviours through our whole school Acknowledgement System.
