Week 3 and 4’s PBL focus lesson is expressing emotions appropriately. This lesson revisits the calming strategies introduced during Connection Week and reinforces the idea that all emotions are valid, but they should be expressed in a way that keeps everyone safe.

What does PBL look like at Wondall?

• At Wondall we have three school expectations: Safe, Respectful and Responsible.
• We have the mantra: Wondall learners are: Safe, Respectful and Responsible.
• Each fortnight the school has a behaviour focus.  The focus behaviour is explicitly taught and positively reinforced.
• Positive reinforcement through verbal feedback, receiving Dougie Dollars and Dougie Stamps.

What are Dougie Rewards?

Behaviour is reinforced when provided with something of value following a desired behaviour. This may be verbal praise, non-verbal acknowledgement, earning of tokens, provision of tangible rewards, or opportunities to perform a task or participate in an activity.

• Dougie rewards are free and frequent reward points.
• Students receive Dougie rewards in the classroom and the playground.
• Dougie Dollars are awarded outside of the classroom. These points go towards a class total and a school total.
• Dougie Points are awarded during class time.  Students earn reward vouchers at the following increments.
• Students go to the Dougie Shop (open every Friday 1^st Break in the Library where they can select their reward)

Our PBL Captains have been surveying our students to hear what vouchers they would like to receive this year for our Dougie Rewards!
