POSITIVE BEHAVIOURS FOR LEARNING (PB4L), SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL)
Our PB4L/SEL focus for Week 7 will be: Working with Others (Being part of a Team). In the explicit teaching lessons, the expected behaviours taught will be:      
1. Identify the task to be completed.
2. Assign tasks to each person.
3. Discuss ideas in a calm, quiet voice and let everyone share his or her ideas.
4. Take responsibility for your part of the task.
5. Work on tasks until completed or when instructed to stop.

Examples of behaviours that negatively impact on Respectful, Responsible and Safe behaviour when Working with Others (Being part of a Team) to be taught include:
1. Being bossy
2. Not allowing others to be heard
3. Disrespecting another person’s point of view
4. Not completing my part of the task

Our PB4L/SEL focus for Week 8 will be: Asking Permission
In the explicit teaching lessons, the expected behaviours taught will be:
1. Look at the person.
2. Use a calm and pleasant voice.
3. Say “May I….?”
4. Accept the answer calmly.

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.
