SCHOOL-WIDE POSITIVE BEHAVIOURS FOR LEARNING
Our SPB4L focus for this week (Week 8) is Good Manners. In the explicit teaching lessons the expected behaviours taught will be:
- Saying ‘Please’ and ‘Thank you’
- Saying ‘Excuse me’
- Saying ‘Good Morning'
- Asking ‘May I’
- Waiting my turn to talk
- Looking at the person speaking
- Using the other persons name
Examples of behaviours that negatively impact on Good Manners to be taught include:
- Not saying please, thank you or excuse me
- Interrupting
- Walking away when someone is talking to you
- Ignoring others
Our SPB4L focus for next week (Week 9) is Covered Areas. In the explicit teaching lessons the expected behaviours taught will be:
- Walk when under the covered areas
- Passive Play

- Clean up after myself
Examples of behaviours that negatively impact respectful, responsible and safe use of Covered Areas to be taught include:

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.
