Positive Behaviour Support

PBS at Macleod College

We work together to encourage high expectations of behaviour that creates an environment which promotes individual academic and social growth.

It is established to provide a positive school climate, and to create a supportive environment for personal, social, emotional, and academic growth for students and staff.

Positive Behaviour Support promotes our College values that demonstrate a clear set of behaviour expectations developed around the Values of:

ACHIEVE RESPECT CONNECT

How do we teach school behaviours?

TELL - Introduce the expected behaviours and discuss why it is important

SHOW - Demonstrate and model

PRACTICE - Role play expected behaviours in relevant contexts

MONITOR - Pre correct, supervise and provide positive feedback

RETEACH - Practice throughout the day.

Responding to Behaviour

We respond to behaviour using the Macleod Behaviour Management Flowchart.

It provides a consistent response and understanding within all learning communities across the school.

The Behaviour Flowchart displays a process on a consistent approach to dealing with negative behaviour in and out of the classroom.

Classroom teachers can manage classroom minor behaviours in the following ways:

In classroom setting:

Temporary removal from activity
Alteration of activity
Short time out
Notification to parents
Conversation-linked to Behaviour Matrix

Outside classroom setting:

Miss out on recess/lunchtime in detention
Walk with teacher
Loss of privilege
Conversation
After school detention
Community service
Restorative conversation, if appropriate

Classroom teachers can manage classroom major behaviours in the following ways:

Inform student of their negative behaviour
State expected behaviour
Complete Compass chronicle (red) major behaviour
