Tomaree High School is a Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) school.
PBL brings together the whole-school community to contribute to developing a positive, safe and supportive learning culture.
The initiative employs a whole-school systems approach which enhances learning outcomes for children and young people. PBL encourages positive behaviour from students, which has been shown to improve their self-concept and motivation to learn.
Weekly PBL lessons are held across the entire school. The lessons are prepared by the PBL Team in consultation with the Senior Leadership Team and are delivered by teachers in the classroom. The presentations cover a diverse range of topics that reinforce the schools values - respect, responsibilty, success.
A collaboration between THS students, parents and teachers has seen a new student rewards system implemented in 2020. Through the consultation process, it became clear that the students wanted to be rewarded for positive behaviour as a group and not just as individuals.
PBL Tickets recognise students that uphold the school values - respect, responsibility, success - with teachers giving tickets to students who are demonstrating the values. The tickets are placed into House Group boxes, a weekly winner is drawn from each House Group and they receive a canteen voucher to the value of $5. All tickets are then counted with further rewards being allocated when House Group tickets reach a designated amount. The whole school will also be rewarded when House Group tickets are combined to reach the target set by the teachers.
Weekly winners are drawn at the assembly by the SRC. Major prize draws are held at the end of each Term.
PBL Recognition Letters recognise students who go above and beyond the school's expectations. This may include outstanding assessment work, consistent application in class, helping others and voluntering within the community.
