Wellbeing
School Wide Positive Behaviours Support (SWPBS) Framework
School-wide Positive Behaviour Support
(SWPBS) is an evidence-based
framework for preventing and
responding to student behaviour. It
aims to create a positive school
climate, a culture of student
competence and an open, responsive
management system for all school
community members, while providing
the individual behaviour and learning
supports needed to achieve academic
and social success for all students. The
SWPBS is continuing to be
implemented at Springside in 2020.

room. This offers lots of activities to ensure all students have the opportunity to be active and
engaged while outsideSocial Emotional Learning Program (SEL) Wellbeing At Springside we have incorporated Social and Emotional Learning into our curriculum which includes running a stand alone lesson each fortnight. This aims to support students develop self awareness and self management skills to help them achieve school and life success. Zones of Regulation Self-regulation is something everyone continually works on whether or not we are cognizant of it. We all encounter trying circumstances that test our limits from time to time. If we are able to recognize when we are becoming less regulated, we are able to do something about it to manage our feelings and get ourselves to a healthy place. This comes naturally for some, but for others it is a skill that needs to be taught and practiced. This is the goal of The Zones of Regulation (or Zones for short). WHAT ARE THE ZONES? The Zones is a systematic, cognitive behavioural approach used to teach self-regulation by categorizing all the different ways we feel and states of alertness we experience into four concrete coloured zones. The Zones framework provides strategies to teach students to become more aware of and independent in controlling their emotions and impulses, manage their sensory needs, and improve their ability to problem solve conflicts.
Homework Expectations Homework in Prep consists of: • Nightly Reading- Initially consists of Parents reading to their child and then the child answering questions about the content of the book. • Completing suggested discussion prompts from Little Learners Love Literacy character letters • Selecting one activity from the Independent Choice Grid each week.
Nightly Reading Routines With the changes to our reading instruction, there will also be changes to our Home Reading expectations. During Term 1, parents are asked to read to their child and then ask comprehension questions about the text. Question prompts will be provided to parents to assist in the types of questions students should be practising.
