Rowland Hassall School promotes a strong Positive Behaviour for Learning approach to education. Students and teachers embraced the goal of our students becoming Safe, Respectful Learners and this has formed part of the Rowland Hassall School ethos over the past four years.
The message that all students take from this is that being safe and respectful will assist you in becoming a diligent learner.
Short targeted skill streaming lessons are held daily as consistent reminders of expected behaviours and positive strategies when dealing with difficult or unfamiliar situations.
00:04 positive behaviour for learning is a
00:06 system that many schools in western New
00:09 South Wales region are now using known
00:12 as PBL it is a support system that
00:15 increases the positive environment in a
00:17 school was it behaviour for learning is a
00:20 way of us making sure that children
00:23 develop the skills through specific
00:26 teaching and then through measuring how
00:29 well they behave to improve the way they
00:31 learn when starting out on the PBL
00:34 journey our schooling consultation with
00:37 the student's teachers and parents agree
00:40 on some Universal expectations are in
00:43 our hearts public school our universal
00:46 expectations are to be respectful
00:49 responsible cooperative and safe

01:05 behaviours that our students at all
01:07 include lining up moving quietly around
01:10 the school and active listening assembly

01:16 at the canteen these expectations help
01:18 students take more responsibility which
01:21 helps and learn PBL support for students
01:25 and staff across all settings including
01:27 the playground and classrooms we've only
01:29 recently started working in the
01:31 classroom in the last three or four
01:32 months but already children have
01:34 understand what our expectations are and
01:36 understand the specifics of how they
01:38 should behave our teachers and staff
01:41 including me are also expected to model
01:44 this behaviour since we start a PBL we
01:47 have noticed a real improvement
01:49 learning environment our students that
01:52 are well into plastic today they are
01:54 more caring and considerate of others
01:57 and they are eager to move it has been
02:00 transformative it has made a great
02:01 difference to the school that the
02:02 weather we've been going now for a bit
02:05 over two years and there's been a
02:07 significant change in in the ethos of
02:10 the school I feel and also in the the
02:12 culture of the playground in the
02:14 classroom
