This comprehensive plan outlines Jubilee Primary School’s approach to fostering positive student behaviour. It is built on the school’s ecumenical foundation and values of respect, responsibility, positivity and organisation. Key elements include:
- Beliefs and Vision: Behaviour support is central to Jubilee’s mission of equity and excellence in a Christian learning environment.
- Behaviour Expectations: Explicit teaching, modelling and reinforcement of expected behaviours across all learning and play areas.
- Roles and Responsibilities: Clear expectations for students, teachers and parents to support a respectful and collaborative school culture.
- Positive School Culture: Recognition systems such as Student of the Week Awards, Bee-Attitude Awards, Gotchya Awards, Principal’s Awards, Sporting and Acadeic based awards and class-based rewards.
- Targeted Support: Intervention strategies for students at risk, including personalised behaviour plans and social skills instruction.

The Bee Attitudes
Each section of the matrix uses playful language and affirmations to guide students in different social and emotional situations:
How to Be a Good Friend
Encourages kindness, compliments, and helpfulness. Students are reminded to use positive words and actions to build strong friendships.
How to Be a Superhero
Highlights the importance of using one’s strengths to help others, make good choices, and be a role model in the classroom and playground.
When Things Don’t Go Your Way
Offers strategies for emotional regulation, such as taking deep breaths, walking away, or using calming words. This section supports resilience and self-control.
Chill Out Zone Prompts
Reinforces the use of the Chill Out Zone as a safe space for reflection and emotional reset. Students are encouraged to think about their actions and how to move forward positively.
The matrix uses bright visuals, affirming language, and relatable scenarios to make behaviour expectations accessible and engaging for all year levels. It’s likely displayed in classrooms and wellbeing areas to reinforce daily routines and social skills.
Bee-Attitude Awards
The Bee-Attitude Awards are a cornerstone of Jubilee’s Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L) framework. They celebrate students who consistently live out the school’s core values:
- Be Respectful
- Be Responsible
- Be Positive
Each class nominates one student who has demonstrated these qualities throughout the term. The awards are presented during school assemblies, often with teachers and students participating in a formal ceremony where recipients are called to the stage, congratulated, and celebrated publicly.
These awards are not just about behaviour—they reflect a student’s character, attitude, and contribution to the classroom and school community. They are often accompanied by certificates, stickers, and affirmations from teachers and peers.
Gotcha Awards
Gotcha Awards are part of Jubilee’s daily behaviour reinforcement system. They are informal, spontaneous recognitions given to students who are “caught” doing the right thing—whether it’s helping a friend, showing kindness, following instructions, or demonstrating leadership.
These awards are:
- Distributed frequently across classrooms and playgrounds.
- Used to reinforce positive choices and encourage students to internalize the Bee-Attitudes.
- Often displayed or tracked in classrooms as part of visual behaviour systems (e.g., sticker charts, raffle tickets, Class Dojo).
Gotchas help build a culture of encouragement and accountability, and they complement more formal awards like Student of the Week and Principal’s Awards.
