School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) program

Kew High School is committed to providing a safe, secure and stimulating learning environment for all students. We have implemented the School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) Program. SWPBS is a framework that aims to develop positive, safe, supportive learning cultures and is founded on the belief that positive behaviour can be taught and learned. Furthermore, we believe that consistent behaviour management across a school can make for a more calm, orderly learning environment, as well as setting students up for success later in life.

The matrix below was created in collaboration with staff, students and parents, and outlines the expected behaviours of our students across different settings. These behaviours are taught explicitly and reinforced consistently, to ensure that all students have clear expectations.
