The introduction of our Positive Behaviour for Learning Program (PB4L) in 2008 has focused on our key values: Safety, Respect, Learning, Belonging This is a whole school and IEC project and the values are displayed in every classroom and are used in our discussions with students and parents in welfare and discipline interviews. PB4L is supported by all staff and all staff are involved in teaching explicit lessons around these values. Our staff, parents and students are proud of the highly developed welfare system which is reflected bythe cohesive nature of the school community. In addition to our School Council and Parents and Citizens group, which meet every month, we have ATSI, Arabic, Pacifica, Karen and Vietnamese parent groups which are well attended and meet each term. All parent groups are consulted and involved in the decision making process for our school plan and school evaluation.
