Our PB4L focus for the Week 5 of Term 3 will be the Library. 
In the explicit teaching lessons the expected behaviours taught will be:

 1. Entering quietly
 2. Using good manners
 3. Using a whispering voice
 4. Treating books with care
 5. Bringing your library bag
 6. Returning my book on my correct day
 7.Doing ‘the 5’ when listening

Examples of behaviours that negatively impact on Respectful, Responsible and Safe
behaviour in the Library to be taught include:

 1. Making noise when entering the library
 2. Forgetting my manners
 3. Talking in a loud voice
 4. Treating books carelessly
 5. Forgetting my library bag or my book on my library day
 6. Not listening respectfully

Our PB4L/SEL (Social & Emotional Learning) focus for the Week 6 of Term 3 will be based on Responsible decision making 

When someone makes a mistake  
Acceptable response
 1. Look at the person 
 2. Say: “ would you like some help?”
 3. If the answer is “yes” show the person what / how to do – don’t do it for them
 4. If the answer is “no” say: “okay – let me know when you would like help” - move
     away.

When someone makes a mistake  
Unacceptable response
 1. Laughing at the person
 2. Putting the person down/mocking them

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.
