​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Algester State School Student Code Of Conduct

Our Student Code Of Conduct​ ​has been developed with our school community. It is designed to facilitate high standards of behaviour so that quality teaching and learning can take place in our school. As part of this plan the good behaviour of our students are acknowledged and rewarded with special tokens known as Success Key Cards. ​

Positive Behaviour for Learning

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) is a whole-school framework which promotes positive behaviour across a school and helps schools to develop a safe and supportive learning environment. In a whole-school approach, all members of the school community work together to establish simple, clear and explicit expectations for behaviour.


Student behaviour improves when students know what is expected of them and when good behaviour is recognised.

When schools adopt the PBL framework all students are explicitly taught the expected behaviours and clear and consistent boundaries are established. Schools take a proactive, preventative approach, ensuring that all students receive the appropriate level of support to help them to be successful at school. Student outcomes are monitored so that identified students can receive additional support when needed, and a minority of students can access intensive support to enable them to engage successfully at school.

Algester State School's 2023 Behaviour Expectations Matrix​

There are a number of components to PBL including setting high expectations for behaviour, actively teaching behaviour and acknowledging and rewarding good behaviour.  The school has a Rule of the Week which is based on data gained from disciplinary incidents in the school.  A Success Key Card in conjunction with a verbal acknowledgement is rewarded to students who exhibit good behaviour.  These cards are collected, collated and traded for various rewards from the School Rewards Shop.  Certificates are also awarded to students who achieve the established benchmarks for excellent behaviour.

This is an example of some of the items available from the Rewards Shop:

The children also automatically receive certificates and other incentives at various levels to encourage them to always display positive behaviour and good learning choices. 

Anti-bullying policy

Our school believes that the working environment for students and staff should be safe and free from violence, harassment and bullying of any kind. Bullying, violence and harassment are not tolerated because they infringe on our fundamental rights to safety and fair treatment.

The school also uses the High 5 Tool to empower students.
