What is Positive Behaviours 4 Learning: (PB4L) ?

At St Pius X Unanderra the Positive Behaviours for Learning (PB4L) framework for behaviour support is implemented in order to enhance respectful relationships and the engagement of students in their learning. Based on international research, it examines behaviour and learning from a whole-school as well as an individual child's perspective.  

PB4L is a proactive approach used by all Wollongong Diocesan Primary schools and consists of practises and organisational systems that help schools create positive teaching and learning environments. The PB4L school-wide management framework supports the shared mission of the Catholic Education Office and our own school vision to create an inclusive, nurturing Catholic school community where students achieve their full potential.

This is achieved by establishing school-wide management practises which:

• clearly define outcomes that relate to academic and social behaviour

• is supported by the understanding that “Adults matter”. Clear, consistent and durable systems support the work of the adults that matter to the lives of children – staff and parents

• has effective and efficient teaching practises that support student success

• uses relevant school data to guide decision making.
