Program focuses on taking pride

Woy Woy Public School's first Positive Behaviour for Learning program for Term 2 will focus on being proud and how this translates into school life.

"Each week teachers at Woy Woy Public School explicitly teach their students how to demonstrate different positive behaviours linked to our school rules and expectations," said assistant principal Mr Dan Betts.

"Last week teachers began the new term with a focus on the 'Be Proud' rule, in the context of wearing the correct school uniform.

"More specifically, students were reminded about the importance of wearing appropriate school shoes and the correct school shirt.

"This week teachers have been teaching their students about how to 'Be Polite' when attending school assemblies.

"Lessons have focused on Principal Buckley's 'look, listen, sit still' mantra," he said.

"Next week we will be teaching students about the importance of asking teachers for help if they or any of their friends are experiencing problems on the playground.

"Students will be reminded that the 'safest', most sensible approach to dealing with conflict situations is get an adult to help resolve the matter.

"Students who successfully demonstrate positive behaviours with regard to wearing school uniform with pride, when attending assemblies and by working with teachers to solve problems on the playground will be rewarded with Win Bin tickets and stars on their Star Charts," Mr Betts said.
