PB4L - Positive Behaviour for Learning  

At St Jospeh’s we recognise that our diverse group of students have all had different life experiences and will bring various levels of social and academic skills to all aspects of schooling. We have identified the following school wide expectations to teach and promote our high standards of responsible behaviour: 

• Be Respectful 
• Be Responsible 
• Be Resilient 
• Be Ready for Learning 

These expectations provide a reference point to all staff and students both in and outside the classroom. Clear expectations promotes ownership of behaviour which leads to greater development of lifelong skills such as self-discipline and respect for ourselves and others.
