PB4L - WEEK 8

 Positive Behaviours for Learning (PB4L)

Our PB4L focus for next week (Week 9) is being Respectful, Responsible and Safe online

The poster below comes from the Office of the eSafety Commissioner and will be the basis of the explicit teaching lessons throughout the week.

The eSafety Commissioner (eSafety) is committed to empowering all Australians to have safer, more positive experiences online. eSafety was established in 2015 with a mandate to coordinate and lead the online safety efforts across government, industry and the not-for-profit community.

More information about the Office of the eSafety Commissioner can be found at esafety.gov.au

I urge you to explore this website as it has very useful reference and resource material for all members of the community.

Our PB4L focus for Week 10 is Respectful, Responsible and Safe online

In so doing we will review our Major and­­ Minor Behaviour definitions, a copy of which is above.

 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. 

PB4L Data

It is with pride that I inform you that over the last two weeks (Weeks 7 and 8) 49 students were given Citizenship, Merit, Library or Uniform Awards or Playground Affirmation Awards whilst there were only 2 incidences of Inappropriate behavior recorded.

Congratulations and thank you boys and girls. Please continue to act respectfully, responsibly and safely.

The St Patrick’s Parish and School Great Fete which had been rescheduled for Saturday October 17 has been regrettably cancelled. Plans are underway to hold an alternate celebration. More information will be sent to you in the near future. Thank you to the members of the P&F who are working towards this alternate celebration.
