PBL Focus

This week students are focusing on using items and objects appropriately. All classes are going to look at:

Students are not to be walking around with or throwing sticks or rocks, but can build with these in the gully. If you wish to have a copy of the PowerPoint that the students will be engaging in to reinforce at home, please email jxran4@eq.edu.au.        

Hats

Please ensure your child has a hat with their name on it when coming to school. If they have lost it, please check the lost property which is located in the undercroft near the office. Problems that we are having with students that don’t have a hat is that they go to the hall to play tiggy and go on the oval without a hat. Students are not allowed to run in the hall as they collide with students skipping and play basketball; therefore, causes injury. We are a sun safe school and students must wear a hat when playing in the sun. We are very lucky at Calliope State School to have such big ovals to play and so many different playgrounds but we need to make sure we are being sun safe in these areas.

Tiered Behaviour Data

The triangle graph has been used to indicate the percentage of students at Calliope State School at each tier.

Major behaviours – Major behaviours are behaviours that are so serious that immediate assistance is needed, have strong negative impact on others, or are so disruptive that teaching and learning cannot continue.

Universal Supports Tier 1 - 'differentiated and explicit teaching for all students', or school-wide interventions, are the critical foundation for PBL. Interventions are at the whole-school level and are provided to all students across academic, emotional and behaviour dimensions of learning. The focus of Tier 1 intervention is on all students and staff across all settings—whole-school, classroom and non-classroom.

We are currently sitting at 91.2% of students in Tier 1. As you can see from the above triangle, usually Tier 1 sits at around 80%. PBL targets are 80% for all Queensland PBL schools. Below I have represented the data that we have at Calliope State School in whole numbers to show that 91.2% is 521 students in ier 1.
