Positive Behaviour for Learning At Bellbird Park State Secondary College, we believe in: Teaching students expected behaviours, Positively acknowledging students who demonstrate 

our expectations, and Rewarding students who RISE.

Positive rewards: Staff are always on the lookout for students who 

are demonstrating our four values: Responsibility, Integrity, Support and Effort.

Staff also keep a special eye out for the students who are engaging in the Focus of the Week.

When staff see students adhering to these expectations staff can reward them with a PBL stamp in their diary, and verbal praise for their positive behaviour.

Positive Rewards cash‐in: Once a student has exhibited our values and 

received 10 stamps for their positive behaviour they can trade it in at the PBL cash‐in.
