Visual reminders of our PBL matrix are displayed in each setting around our school for teachers and students to refer to.
Specific PBL lessons on the expectations within each setting are also taught to support students at school.
Teachers at Kareela Public School regularly reinforce and acknowledge appropriate student behaviour in a timely and authentic manner.
Our award system aligns with the core values of PBL, which suggests that instead of recognising negative behaviours, teachers should reward students who are displaying the expected behaviours.
Other forms of Recognition
Students consistently receive verbal praise for following our school expectations in class, on the playground and at assembly.
Students receive 50 nights, 100 nights and 200 nights of home reading awards at assembly in recognition of their commitment to home reading.
