PBL Lesson this week

This Week’s PBL Focus:

PBL Focus – Before School Procedures – Breakfast Club

This week, our Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) focus is on Before School Procedures and Breakfast Club. Students are learning the importance of starting the day in a calm, organised, and respectful way. We are reminding everyone to arrive on time, walk calmly through school grounds, place bags in the correct area, and enjoy Breakfast Club in a safe and friendly manner. By following these routines, students show respect for themselves, others, and the school environment, helping everyone begin their day ready to learn.

GEM Focus

G.E.M. Focus – Mindfulness: Be Kind to Yourself

This week in The Resilience Project (G.E.M.), students are exploring ways to be kind to themselves. They are encouraged to do something they love — whether it’s reading, playing outside, listening to music, or simply taking time to rest. Students are also writing down their chosen activity as a reminder to prioritise self-care and balance. By practising mindfulness and kindness towards themselves, students are learning that looking after their wellbeing helps them feel happier, calmer, and more focused for learning.

Whole Class Stamp Chart Update

As we start our count again this term, the challenge is on — can we reach another 20 completed Whole Class Stamp Charts before the end of the school year?

With the end of Term 3 and the first two weeks of Term 4 combined, we already have eight classes who have completed their charts — a fantastic start toward our next whole-school celebration! ?

Congratulations to all classes that have already completed their whole class stamp chart, leading the way and showing what it means to be Safe, Respectful, and Responsible. Keep up the amazing effort, everyone — let’s see how many more classes can join them as our celebration fish continues to grow! 

Watch this space for our growing tally.

The Biggest Catch

 At Calliope State School, our Whole Class Stamp Charts are a fun way to celebrate positive behaviour and teamwork. Each time a class fills a chart, it represents a part of our growing school fish — the more completed charts, the bigger our fish becomes!

This term, six classes have already completed their stamp charts, helping our school fish grow beautifully. Congratulations to Prep C, 2C, 3A, 3C, 4A, and 5/6C for leading the way and showing what it means to be Safe, Respectful, and Responsible.

The challenge is on — how big can our fish grow by the end of the year? Remember, at Calliope State School, we all swim together! ???

Positive Behaviour Data Update

Our students are off to a fantastic start this term, showing great commitment to being Safe, Respectful, and Responsible. By Week 2, Term 4, 2025, we have already recorded 131 positive behaviour acknowledgements — an impressive start that sets us on track for another strong term of positive behaviour!

So far, 35 awards have been presented (including Teacher Aide Certificates, Cool Kid Awards, Classroom Cool Kid, and the Principal’s Award), with four students recognised with a Good Newsletter and one positive contact home already made.

It’s wonderful to see students continuing to uphold our school values and celebrating positive choices every day. Keep up the great work, Calliope! ?
