The Woorinen Way

School Wide Positive Behaviour

At Woorinen District Primary School, we believe that a positive and inclusive school culture is the foundation for student success. Our School-Wide Positive Behaviour Framework (SWPB) promotes a safe and supportive learning environment, where students are encouraged to model and uphold the core values of Respect, Responsibility, and Excellence. These values are embedded in all aspects of school life.

The Woorinen Way

Our School-Wide Positive Behaviour Framework emphasises explicit teaching of positive behaviours, clear expectations and consistent reinforcement of our core values—respect, responsibility and excellence. Positive behaviours are taught and reinforced daily while behavioural expectations are visibly displayed and regularly discussed across the school. Students are recognised for their efforts with praise, tokens and assembly acknowledgments, reinforcing the impact of positive behaviour. Staff implement a restorative approach to promote accountability, understanding and growth. Family and community support is essential in creating a cohesive environment that promotes positive behaviour and fosters student success both at school and in the community.

Respect: We promote respect for oneself, others and the environment. Students learn to demonstrate empathy, kindness, and understanding towards their peers, teachers, and the broader community. Respect is reflected in positive interactions, active listening, and valuing diversity within our school.

Responsibility: Students are encouraged to take ownership of their actions, learning, and behaviour. Responsibility is nurtured through fostering independence, accountability. Students learn to make thoughtful decisions and understand the impact of their choices.

Excellence: Students are encouraged to strive for excellence and try their best in all areas of school life. Whether in academics, sports or personal development, students are guided to set high standards, persevere through challenges, and continuously improve. Excellence is about growth, effort and celebrating achievements.
