School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS)

At Bannockburn College, we are committed to creating a safe, positive and inclusive learning environment for every student. To support this, we implement School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) as a whole-school approach, building consistency in expectations, language, and practices across all areas of the college—from classrooms to shared spaces, and in our interactions between students and staff.

SWPBS is a proactive, evidence-based framework that helps schools define, teach, and reinforce positive behaviours. It focuses on promoting a culture where expected behaviours are clearly communicated, explicitly taught, and consistently acknowledged. This approach not only supports student wellbeing but also enhances academic outcomes by creating environments that are conducive to learning.

Implementation of SWPBS at Bannockburn College involves a dedicated team, regular staff professional development, and a focus on data-informed decision making to guide our practices. Our work in this area is ongoing and reflective of our commitment to continuous improvement.

In 2024, we were proud to achieve our Bronze Award for successful SWPBS implementation—an important milestone that recognises our whole-school effort and commitment to fostering a positive school culture.
