SWPBS Focus – Weeks 9 & 10: Respect

At Karingal Heights Primary School, our School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) focus for Weeks 9 and 10 is Respect.

Over the next two weeks, we’ll be guiding students to reflect on what it means to show respect in everyday situations. Our key behaviour expectations include:

• Asking permission before touching someone else’s property

• Treating others with kindness and respect

Respecting others means valuing their belongings, their personal space, and their feelings. Students will be reminded that even small actions—like asking before borrowing something or using polite and inclusive language—can make a big difference in creating a safe and supportive school environment.

Teachers will be reinforcing these behaviours in the classroom and playground through class discussions, role plays, and positive recognition.

Families can support this focus at home by talking with your child about ways to show respect in different situations—at school, at home, and in the community.

Let’s continue to work together to build a culture of respect across our school!

In Class by 9:00am – A Great Start to the Day

Being in the classroom by 9:00am sets students up for a calm, connected and focused school day. Late arrivals miss this important start, often feeling rushed or unsettled.

What families can do:

• Set a consistent morning routine (wake up, breakfast, dressed, bag packed)

• Aim to arrive at school by 8:50am

• Create a calm goodbye routine. Say goodbye before the school bell

• Use positive talk about school to boost motivation

• Stick to a regular bedtime for a smoother morning

What school does:

• Students begin each day with circle time (Berry Street Education Model)

• Support students with a predictable, supportive start

• Build a sense of belonging, regulation, and readiness to learn

Let’s work together to make sure students are in class by 9:00am and ready to start the day strong!
