Assistant Principal
Welcome back to our students, teachers and parents. It was a pleasure to see the students on Tuesday morning so keen and ready to start another year of learning and growing.
School Newsletter
The school newsletter is a form of communication across the school community. All parents and carers are asked to read the newsletter and to take action if and when necessary. The newsletter is distributed fortnightly, on Thursday, via Compass and email. It is important to have the Compass app and ensure your email address is up to date in order to receive all school notices. Further school information can be viewed on our school website.
Positive Behaviours for Learning (PB4L)
The Positive Behaviours for Learning (PB4L) framework is implemented at St Francis of Assisi to help create vibrant and positive learning environments in which all students are supported to reach their full potential.
PB4L is an evidenced-based, organisational framework for behaviour support to enhance respectful relationships and engagement of students in their learning. It encompasses a broad range of systemic and individualised strategies and agreed practices for achieving important social and academic outcomes for all students.
This framework is an integral component of the CEDoW Student Pastoral Care and Wellbeing Policy, which articulates the need for schools to ‘play an active role in building a positive learning environment where the whole school community feels included, connected, safe and respected’
All staff at our school work together to explicitly teach, affirm and correct agreed behaviour expectations across school-wide, classroom and non-classroom settings, based on our school rules that underpin who we are and what we do at St Francis of Assisi. Students at St Francis of Assisi follow explicit behaviour expectations based on the following school rules:
BE RESPECTFUL BE RESPONSIBLE BE SAFE
Parent and carer support is an integral part of the success of PB4L at our school, and we thank you for your ongoing cooperation and support.
