Whole School Approach to Positive Behaviour Support

At St Ita’s Primary School, we have implemented a whole school approach to supporting behaviour in a positive manner.  Our Whole School Approach to Positive Behaviour Support (WSAPBS) is an evidence-based framework that outlines a school wide system that clearly defines social and behavioural expectations as well as providing explicit teaching to support the development of these key relationship skills.

This approach ensures that all members of our school community are familiar with our School Wide Expectations and can support the school to build well rounded students. We believe that focusing on WSAPB will help us to build strong and positive relationships as well as to build effective communication skills. 

At St Ita's we have identified 5 main expectations that our school community is expected to use in every day interactions. These are:

1. Resilience

2. Respect

3. Compassion

4. Teamwork

5. Inclusiveness
