St Columba’s has rules to protect rights and encourage responsibility. Fundamental to these rules is the principle of respect. As parents we want our children to develop a genuine respect for themselves, their classmates and for their teachers.

St Columba’s is utilizing the PBL(Positive Behaviours for Learning) framework across the school to promote positive choices and help to develop safe and supportive play and learning environments.

Introducing, modelling and reinforcing positive social behaviour is an important part of a student’s educational experience. Teaching behavioural expectations and rewarding students for following them is both proactive and positive. Each week, as part of the program, the classroom teachers will teach students expected behaviours. The same behaviours are taught across the school to help maintain uniformity and to ensure that all behaviours are taught throughout the year.
