Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL)
At our school, we use Positive Behaviour for Learning – a whole-school approach for creating a positive, safe and supportive school climate where students can learn and develop. Our whole school community works together to establish expected behaviours and teach them to all students.
Each week our staff and students focus on a different expectation which is taught and discussed in all classes. We kindly ask that parents and carers discuss the focus expectations and reinforce it in discussions at home.
'Be Great Like Garno'
Learn Always
which includes striving for one’s personal best; having the courage to take risks and take on learning challenges; commitment and effort
Participate Safely
demonstrating responsibility and making safe choices
Show Respect
cooperation; respect for self, others and the environment
Reminder of our Awards System at LPS
Students who demonstrate that they are following our school values of Learning Always, Showing Respect or Participating Safely are issued with "Garnos". As students accumulate Garnos, they can be submitted for the following awards listed in the table below. Students can also earn "Playground Garnos" which are issued by teachers on playground duty for students who are showing safe and respectful behaviour. When a student is awarded with a Playground Garno, they place it in their sporting house group letterbox located near the COLA. At the end of the term, the sporting house that has earned the most playground Garnos will result in students in that house receiving a reward.
(Please note Principal's Awards can be collected from a Values Medallion to work towards an Excellence Plaque)
