PBL Lesson this week

This Week’s PBL Focus:

PBL Focus – Swimming and Pool Safety

This week, our Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) focus is on Swimming and Pool Safety. As swimming lessons begin in PE next week, students are learning how to be safe, respectful, and responsible around the pool. We’re discussing the importance of listening carefully to instructors, following pool rules, and looking out for others to ensure everyone can enjoy their swimming time safely.

GEM Focus

G.E.M. Focus – Gratitude

This week in our Gratitude, Empathy, and Mindfulness (G.E.M.) program, students are focusing on gratitude by reflecting on the people who make them happy. They are encouraged to think about someone special in their lives – a friend, teacher, family member, or classmate – and recognise the positive impact that person has on their day. By identifying and appreciating the people who bring them joy, students learn that practising gratitude helps strengthen relationships, boosts overall wellbeing and spreads kindness throughout our school community.

Whole Class Stamp Charts

After reaching our amazing goal of 20 completed Whole Class Stamp Charts last term, our count has now started again! The challenge is on — can we reach another 20 before the end of the school year?

Including the final week of Term 3, we already have six classes who have completed their stamp charts, starting us off wonderfully toward our next whole-school celebration. Congratulations to Prep C, 2C, 3A, 3C, 4A, and 5/6C for leading the way and helping us reach a total of six completed charts so far.

Keep up the great work, everyone — let’s see how many more classes can join them before the year is out! ?

Watch this space for our growing tally.

The Biggest Catch

 It’s our way of celebrating how many individual stamp charts each class completes.

Think of each filled chart as a part of a fish—the more completed charts, the bigger the fish will be.

At Calliope State School we all swim together.

Positive Behaviour Data Update
At Calliope State School, we continue to celebrate the many positive choices our students make every day. As of Week 4, Term 3, 2025, we have already recorded 59 positive behaviour acknowledgements, alongside 18 awards recognising student effort and achievement through Teacher Aide Certificates, Cool Kid Awards, Classroom Cool Kid Awards, and the Principal’s Award.

We’ve also had four students receive Good Newsletters for their outstanding efforts and positive contributions around the school. These recognitions highlight the great start we’ve had this term as students demonstrate our school expectations of being safe, respectful, and responsible.

Keep up the amazing work, Calliope students — every positive action makes a difference! ?
