PBL News Positive Behaviour for Learning

What PBL means to me.

Year 6

PBL sounds like people talking to others about the PBL

Lesson every week. It feels good to follow the PBL rules

every week. It’s good to do PBL lessons because it

changes our behaviour and makes people know more

about positive behaviour and learning. It’s great getting

rewards like FIT.

Cooper.

At Tarro Public School PBL has changed and helped a lot

with our learning. And has showed that I can do my best

with work and know that it helps with learning with others.

Shelby.

At Tarro Public School we have this thing called PBL which

stands for Positive Behaviour for Learning. We pick an

area on which we need to learn to fix, earlier in the year

we had a problem with the schools’ toilets. We learned

about it in class and announced it at assembly and

everything’s been fine since, PBL is good in a way to

improve our school.

Emilee-Rose

Year 3

At Tarro some people follow the five star rules. We like to

be good sports. You can get your name moved up the

chart two times to get a Bright. If you get ten Brights then

you get a Green Bright.

Cruz

At Tarro PS PBL is following the 5 star rules. The rules are;

I can listen, I can work quietly, and I can raise my hand

and I can control what I do and say, I can follow the

instructions. I think PBL is showing respect.

Jac

PBL means to me the 5 star rules. The 5 star rules are

good because it stops people from being bad. It’s helpful

to people and its cool to me. It helps me to be good.

Wyatt

PBL is a thing that some schools do and at Tarro PS it is

about the 5 star rules. They are; I can listen, I can work

quietly, I can raise my hand and wait, I can control what I

do and say, and I can follow instructions. I feel that all

schools should do PBL because it helps us learn and keep

safe.

Hunter

K/1H

At Tarro Public School we follow the 5 star rules. We are

listeners, can follow instructions and show respect to

everyone. We can earn Brights for showing respect,

responsibility and personal best.

Kindergarten

At Tarro Public we can earn a Bright when we:
