Walcha Central is a PBL school.
PBL stands for Positive Behaviour for Learning.
This will give our school and the wider community the opportunity to develop a fresh approach to meet the needs of young people in the twenty-first century. PBL is a way in which our school can determine its own culture and future.
The staff has been involved in PBL training and investigating successful PBL schools across the State. Also, many of our students have been working with teachers to identify ways of improving our school and determining our core values.
Parents, staff and students were invited to suggest values that they believed to be the most important for our school. Respect, engagement, achievement and learning were the values rated the most highly by everyone involved. These have been put together to make the motto: Be REAL.
Students were invited to participate in a competition to design the logo for Be REAL. The final logo design was inspired by a variety of artworks submitted by students. The logo will appear on letterheads and around the school on posters which will act as a reminder of our core values.
