Positive Behaviour for Learning

At our school, we use Positive Behaviour for Learning - a whole-school approach for creating a positive, safe and supportive school climate where students can learn and develop. Our whole school community works together to establish expected behaviours and teach them to all students.

William Dean Public School is committed to explicitly teaching and modelling positive behaviour and to supporting all students to be engaged with their learning. Our goal is for every student to participate positively within the school community by promoting excellence, opportunity and success. We encourage positive relationships and prioritise student wellbeing in an effort to develop safe, kind, respectful learners.
