School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS)

School-wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) is a whole-school framework which provides a research-based approach to promote positive behaviour at our school. The SWPBS approach has been developed from evidence and data, demonstrating the most effective ways to prevent and respond to problem behaviour, improve school culture and increase academic performance.  SWPBS provides a consistent approach and common language to engage, guide and support students to be the best they can be.

SWPBS Philosophy at Karoo Primary School

At Karoo Primary School our SWPBS approach is underpinned by our school values. In everything they do, students are expected to demonstrate behaviours that reflect:

Kindness / Personal Excellence / Tenacity 

Our teachers explicitly teach these values in line with the standards of our SWPBS Behaviour Response Matrix, Real School principals and the Victorian Curriculum. In the coming weeks you may notice more visual displays that relate to the SWPBS framework across our school. We encourage you to take a moment to read and learn more about this exciting new framework for Karoo.
