Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)

Broome North Primary School is excited to continue its Stronger Smarter Positive Behaviour Support (SSPBS) journey.  SSPBS is an evidence based, whole school approach to teaching and managing management. It works in conjunction with the schools Behaviour Managment Policy. The school behaviour expectations are clearly defined and taught, and positive behaviour is rewarded and celebrated. It is a framework that will improve student academic and behavioural outcomes and ensures that all students have access to the most effective behavioural practices and interventions possible.
