School-wide positive behaviour support (SWPBS) is a framework that brings together our Lancefield community to develop a positive, safe, supportive learning culture.

SWPBS assists Lancefield Primary to improve social, emotional, behavioural and academic outcomes for our students.

Through the implementation of SWPBS, students and staff benefit from:

• increased respectful and positive behaviour

• increased time focused on instruction

• improved social-emotional wellbeing

• positive and respectful relationships among students and staff

• increased adoption of evidence-based instructional practices

• a predictable learning environment with improved perceptions of safety and increased attendance.

SWPBS uses a tiered intervention framework which invests in:

• primary prevention (tier 1): supports for all students, staff and settings

• secondary prevention (tier 2): additional specialised group systems for students with at-risk behaviour

• tertiary prevention (tier 3): specialised, individualised systems for students with high-risk behaviour, provided in addition to primary and secondary prevention.

Our staff Wellbeing team supports our student team and whole school in the implementation and teaching of SWPBS expectations and this is further supported by a dedicated coach from the Department of Education.
