Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL)
PBL will be the acronym used throughout these documents. It is abbreviated from the formal SWPBL acronym (School Wide Positive Behaviour for Learning).
What is PBL?
Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) is a whole school approach that actively promotes positive behaviour. It enables students to develop a clear understanding of required expectations, become responsible for their own behaviour and work together to create a positive, productive and harmonious learning community. Our school-wide expectations are characterised with a mascot who represents the students of Junction Park State School.

Brain Break
Brain Break is a set break for students to eat fruit or salad vegetables and drink water in the classroom. Junction Park State School has introduced Brain Break to support students to establish healthy eating habits whilst at school. Brain Break is a time during the school day when students can 'refuel' on fruit and salad vegetables and 'rehydrate' with water. In addition, each student has a small bottle of plain water to drink throughout the day to prevent dehydration.
