Carrum Downs Secondary College

Where Every Student Grows

School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS)

School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) at Carrum Downs Secondary College aims to promote and acknowledge positive behaviours across all environments of the College and seek opportunities to teach and reward positive behaviours whenever possible. As a school we have commenced work with our community to implement the SWPBS framework. This work has led to the development of a series of SWPBS Matrices that have been created to clearly indicate to students and staff the expected behaviours in different areas of the College. These can be used as a reference point to discuss unwanted behaviours with students when they are observed in an attempt to teach students the desired behaviour. We have also reviewed our college values as part of this process, and have identified the values of respect, integrity and effort that will underpin the SWPBS framework.

STARs

Students can receive a STAR ticket from any staff member to acknowledge positive behaviour. Once students have received 5 STARs, they can use their tickets to purchase items at the STAR Shop at lunch time. Some example items are; chocolates/lollies, pizza lunch, shadowing a teacher, free dress day for you or your whole class.
