At Debney Meadows Primary School we use the School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support Framework (SWPBS) to create an environment where our students thrive with their social, emotional and academic learning.

The SWPBS framework is about:

• Proactive school-wide systems of supporting, defining and teaching appropriate students behaviours to create positive learning environments
• Creating and sustaining school-wide, classroom and individual systems of support
• Building effective environments in which positive behaviour is more effective than problem behaviour so that academic success can be achieved

Key attributes of SWPBS include:

• Preventative activities data-based decision making
• Problem-solving orientation

Below is our school-wide Matrix of Expected Behaviour. This matrix clearly defines our expected behaviours which are explicitly taught, modelled and reinforced in every classroom and throughout the school.

In every classroom students have a clearly articulated set of expectations and the Learning Ladder is the visual tool used to identify positive behaviours and assist students understand choices that impact negatively on their learning. We have connected our Learning Ladder with our Acknowledgement system and all students work to achieve at least one Excellence a Day.

Students receive an Excellence Card once the reach the top of the Learning Ladder.

These Excellences are tallied and form part of our DMPS Badge System that are awarded at our fortnightly Student Showcase Assembly.

5 Excellence = Green Badge

50 Excellence = Bronze Badge

100 Excellence = Silver Badge

150 Excellence = Gold Badge

Below is our Behaviour Management Procedure which all staff use when addressing minor and major behaviours.
