Our PB4L/SEL focus for Week 7 will be: Calling Out and Calling In Disrespect
In the explicit teaching lessons, the expected behaviours taught will be:

You are being disrespectful with the words you are using.
That’s not the way we talk here at our school.
You are being disrespectful in what you are doing.
That’s not the way we behave here at our school.
You are excluding him/her from your game.
That’s not the way we treat people here at our school.
You are being unsafe in the way you’re playing.
We keep our hands, feet, and objects to ourselves here at our school.
You are not respecting other people’s property/boundaries.
We ask for permission here at our school.
You are treating him/her differently.
We treat each other equally here at our school.

Our PB4L focus for Week 11 of this Term is THINK before you speak.
In the explicit teaching lessons, the expected behaviours taught will be:

 Before I speak, I need to ask myself if what I am going to say is true, kind,
necessary, helpful, or inspiring. If the answer is no, then what I am about to say
should be left unsaid.

THINK…
 Is it True
     Is it Helpful
        Is it Inspiring
         Is it Necessary
 Is it Kind

We would very much appreciate you discussing this weekly focus with your children andreviewing the expected and non-acceptable behaviours in our endeavour to see that StPatrick’s is a more respectful, responsible, and safe learning community for all.

SCHOOL PHOTOS

Tuesday 25 March is School Photo Day. Children are required to wear their full school uniform. We are aware that Tuesday is sports uniform for some classes but this will not be the case on this day. Long hair is to be tied back using green or white hair ties only.

Please adhere to the School Uniform Policy below.

School Photo Envelopes need to be brought in to school on Tuesday so the children can hand them to the photographer. 

Kind regards
Mr Gavan Hoctor
Assistant Principal
