In 2020 Pascoe Vale Girls’ College began implementing a School-Wide Positive Behaviour Program (SWPBS) to promote a positive and respectful school culture. The SWPBS focuses on recognising and reinforcing positive behaviors such as respect, responsibility, and kindness, rather than focusing on negative behavior. The program involves a range of strategies such as regular staff training, student leadership opportunities, and whole-school Celebration Assemblies to reinforce positive behavior.
The SWPBS has helped create a safer and more welcoming environment for all students and staff. This approach fosters a sense of community, encourages positive relationships and has a positive impact on student wellbeing and academic success.
