What is PBL?

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) is a whole-school framework that promotes positive behaviour across a school and helps schools develop safe and supportive learning environments.

• PBL is implemented across Prep – Year 6
• PBL applies everywhere in our school; classroom, specialist lessons, playground, oval, excursions, sport, before and after school even during online learning.
• PBL focuses on the establishment of expectations, explicit teaching and reinforcement of behaviours and consistent responses so all in our community understand the expectations. Students have the opportunity to practice the expected behaviours.

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.

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.

What are Dougie Rewards?

• 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 stamps are awarded during class time.  Students who receive 50 stamps over a five week period are rewarded. These rewards are agreed on by staff and students.
