PB4L Data
It is with pride that I inform you that over the last two weeks 53 students
were given Citizenship, Merit, Library or Uniform Awards or Playground
Affirmation Awards whilst there were 9 incidents of Inappropriate behaviour
recorded.

You may be aware from recent correspondence that throughout this term the
students from Kindergarten to Year 6 are learning about the Zones of
Regulation.
Next week the students will learn to understand triggers and recognise that
they may fluctuate between Zones throughout the day.
The following week the students will learn to recognise personal triggers that
lead to different zones, and problem solve to manage these triggers.
