Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) at Dampier Primary
Dampier Primary School began implementing PBS in 2021 with the purpose of establishing, a safe, supportive and positive learning environment.
Our behaviour expectations are together we are Respectful, Responsibile and Resilient.
PBS places a focus on prevention, and the following key elements help to create a safe, positive and productive learning environment:
We explicitly teach our expectations to provide students with the skills and understandings to reinforce the high standards of the expectations.
The expectations for all students are clear throughout the school.
By detailing expected behaviours and teaching these to students in a positive way, we provide a common language for everyone at Dampier Primary School. We acknowledge students for consistently displaying positive behaviours in the classroom and on the playground, through the distribution of PBS tokens, Merit Certificates and verbal praise.
We respond to unproductive behaviour through conferencing, reflection sheets (accompanied by reflection time/ time-out) and restorative conversations.
