PB4L (Positive Behaviour for Learning)
Our current schoolwide focus for PB4L is including others in games at an appropriate time in the game. “You can play - just join the line”. Parents can support this focus through role modeling of respectful relationships through communicative turn taking and negotiating positions through their social interactions. Using a range of situations such as sharing at the dinner table or playing a range of games – like board games, card games and dice games – that can encourage sharing and turn taking can also help build a sense of inclusion, sharing and involving ourselves at appropriate times.
