Wondall learners are respectful when they interact appropriately with others.

Positive interactions, such as saying "please" and "thank you" and practising patience in waiting one's turn, are essential skills for fostering a positive school environment and promoting academic and social success among students. Positive interactions between students cultivate a sense of belonging and cooperation, leading to improved classroom behaviour and academic engagement. Similarly, positive interactions between teachers and students establish trust, support, and a conducive learning atmosphere, ultimately enhancing student motivation and achievement. These skills not only contribute to a harmonious school community but also lay the foundation for lifelong social and emotional well-being.

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 who receive 50 points over a five-week period have the opportunity to participate in a rewards session. These rewards are agreed on by staff and students.
