Positive Behaviours for Learning (PB4L) 

Our PB4L focus for next week (Week 5) 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 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

Tell 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

Our PB4L focus for Week 6 is Asking for Help v Dobbing

In the explicit teaching lessons the expected behaviours taught will be: 

1. Asking for help is when someone feels a situation is out of their control.
2. They are unable to deal with the situation on their own and need help.
3. You can ask for help for yourself or someone else.
4. Asking for help for yourself or others is always okay. 

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.
