School Wide Positive
Behaviour Support
What is it?
School Wide Positive Behaviour Support is a whole school framework for promoting and explicitly teaching appropriate and positive behaviours.
Teaching, modelling and reinforcing positive social behaviour is an important part of a student’s educational experience.
It is a proactive approach and focuses on teaching all students agreed expected behaviours and pro-social skills rather than just reacting to inappropriate behaviour.
School values are explicitly taught across the school and teaching reflects the developmental level of the student.
School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) at Officer Specialist School
At Officer Specialist School, we use School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) to create a safe, positive, and inclusive learning environment for all students. SWPBS is an evidence-based framework that helps us teach, encourage, and celebrate positive behaviour across the whole school.
Our approach is guided by our core values:
- Safe – We help students learn how to make safe choices in all settings.
- Respectful – We promote kindness, cooperation, and respect for ourselves, others, and our environment.
- Learners – We support students to engage, participate, and grow as confident, successful learners.
