Our PB4L focus for Week 1 will be 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 person’s name

Examples of behaviours that negatively impact on Respectful, Responsible and Safe
behaviour when using Good Manners to be taught include:

* Not saying please
* Interrupting
* Walkingaway when someone is talking to you
* Ignoring others
* Not using the other person's name

Our PB4L focus for Week 2 is the No, Stop, Don’t - 3 Step Plan
We teach this to the students so that they have a way to manage situations with other
students if they feel that are being treated disrespectfully, irresponsibly, or unsafely.
In the explicit teaching lessons, the expected behaviours taught will be:

STEP 1:
Say NO, STOP and/or DON’T
to the person assertively

NO
“No I won’t …..”
“No I don’t want to …….”

STOP
“Stop it!”
Stop doing that!”
Stop saying those things!”
DON’T
“I don’t like it …….”

STEP 2:
Tell the person assertively
“Stop it or I’ll tell a teacher”
“Stop saying that or I’ll tell a teacher”

“Stop doing that or I’ll tell a teacher”

STEP 3:
Tell the nearest teacher

We would very much appreciate you discussing this weekly focus 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.
