Our PB4L focus for Week 5 is the library.
In the explicit teaching lessons, the expected behaviours taught will be:
1. Entering quietly
2. Using good manners
3. Using a whispering voice
4. Treating books with care
5. Bringing your library bag
6. Returning my book on my correct day
7. Doing ‘the 5’ when listening

Examples of behaviours that negatively impact on Respectful, Responsible and
Safe use of the Library to be taught include:
1. Making noise when entering the library
2. Forgetting my manners
3. Talking in a loud voice
4. Treating books carelessly
5. Forgetting my library bag or my book on my library day
6. Not listening respectfully

Our Week 6 Social and Emotional Wellbeing Focus to develop relationship skills is
Asking for Help
1. Asking for help is when you feel a situation is out of your control.
2. You are unable to deal with the situation on your own and need help.
3. You can ask for help for yourself or someone else.
4. Asking for help for yourself or others is always okay.

We would very much appreciate your discussing these weekly focuses with your children and reviewing the expected and non-acceptable behaviours in our endeavour to see that St Patrick’s is a more respectful, responsible, and safe learning community for all.
