Positive Behaviours
for Learning - PBL
St Francis of Assisi Tarneit is a Lighthouse School
in Positive Behaviours for Learning for the Archdiocese of Melbourne
We share our practises and support other schools along their journey
The PBL approach aligns academic and behavioural
expectations to explicitly teach, monitor and acknowledge
positive behaviours that promote our school values.
St Francis of Assisi strives to build a safe and supportive environment that respects the rights of all students to learn, the rights of all teachers to teach and the rights of all members of the school community to be safe. Our proactive approach to behaviour support is guided by the Gospel values and honours the dignity of the individual, the family and the school.
Respectful | Responsible | Safe |
Respectful | Responsible | Safe |
We believe the development and promotion of high-quality relationships are responsibilities shared by all members of the school community.
Feedback from our community
“ We can learn and think clearly because everyone is calm and listens to the teacher instructions. All the kids are being respectful during learning ”

“ I am confident and comfortable that my child is safe and welcomed at school. They come home happy and talking about the learning they are taking part in ”
— Yr 2 Parent
Our PBL matrix lays out clear expectations, so everyone knows exactly what is expected.
Our flow chart maps out what to do when behaviours don’t meet these expectations
Students are consistently rewarded when they meet the PBL expectations, receiving verbal acknowledgement and tokens.
Knowing that all staff follow the flow chart fosters a sense of confidence in fair treatment, as the flow chart ensures equal consequences for all students
