Our PB4L/SEL focus for Week 7 will be: 
Be an Upstander (when you feel it is safe to do so)In the explicit teaching lessons, the expected behaviours taught will be:

Take action by:
1.   Refusing to join in the disrespectful behaviour.
2.   Speaking out. Say,
    “Stop treating him/her like that.” or
    “Stop calling him/her that name.”
     or
    “I’m going to tell a teacher right now.”
3.  Inviting the person being hurt to join your group.
4.  Being a friend to the person who is being hurt by standing next to them;
     saying, “don’t listen to them. It’s not true.”
5.  Cheering them up with a compliment

Our PB4L focus for next week (Week 8) is Waste Management
In the explicit teaching lessons, the expected behaviours taught will be:

1. Putting my food waste in the compost bin 

2. Putting paper, cardboard, and hard plastics in the recycling bin
3.Putting foil, plastic bags, and Gladwrap in the rubbish bin
4.Taking uneaten food home in my lunchbox


Examples of behaviours that negatively impact on Respectful, Responsible and
Safe Waste Management to be taught include:

1. Throwing food scraps in the rubbish or the recycling bin.
2. Leaving my rubbish in the classroom, the breakout space or on the playground.
3. Throwing uneaten food away.

We would very much appreciate you 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.
