Values and Expected Behaviour at Norwood Primary School

Norwood Primary School has been a long-time advocate of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) in our everyday interactions within our school. During 2020 we began some work with staff to align the Department of Education values of Aspiration, Growth, Courage and Respect with our PBS structures. These Values represent what is at the heart of our Department and school. They reflect what we stand for, guide our decision making and underpin all aspects of ours and our students work. Aligned to these Values, in 2021 we collectively created our ‘Expected Student Behaviour’ document through many hours of work.

Through this collaboration we have provided a framework to support student wellbeing and behaviour, enabling all learners to succeed. These Expected Student Behaviours frame up our students “way of working”. These documents were collaboratively designed and carefully considered, giving a voice to stakeholder groups, including students. Classes throughout our school have been focussing on unpacking the Expected Behaviour with our students. Have a conversation with your child around our Expected Behaviour or Values, you may be surprised with what they can tell you.
