Positive Behaviour for Learning

WebPartZone1_1

At Pimpama State Secondary College, we are proud to be a Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) school. PBL is an educational framework that is the cornerstone for creating a positive, safe, and supportive learning environments for all students.

Our commitment to PBL is underpinned by our core values:

Look After Yourself
Look After Each Other
Look After This Place

These values form the foundation of our school culture, shaping how we interact and work together as a community.

To ensure these values are meaningful and actionable, we have established clear behavioural expectations that define what it means to be engaged in learning at Pimpama State Secondary College. Our school’s expectations are articulated in our whole school approach to being respectful, responsible, and safe – Our Expectations: Pimpama Learner

These expectations are explicitly taught during Pride Time, through Pride TV and consistently reinforced across all areas of school life. Through proactive strategies focused on building and maintaining positive relationships, we help students understand how these values translate into everyday actions, whether they’re in the classroom, participating in extracurricular activities, or engaging with the wider community.

Recognising and Celebrating Positive Behaviour

Acknowledging and celebrating positive behaviour is a vital part of our approach. Our staff are dedicated to recognising students who demonstrate our core values, using a variety of strategies that range from verbal praise to special awards.

Some of the ways we celebrate positive behaviour include:

PBL Pride Points
Pride Badges (new for 2025!)
Positive Postcards
Junior Certificate of Education
Academic Celebration Certificates
End-of-Year Celebration Excursion for Years 7-9
End-of-Year Academic Awards

These initiatives inspire students to continue striving for excellence while fostering a culture of respect, recognition, and appreciation within our school.

Continuous Improvement

Our dedication to our students and the school community is reflected in our commitment to ensuring we are responsive to the evolving needs of our students and our school community.

At Pimpama State Secondary College, PBL is more than just a framework— it embodies our values in action. It drives our commitment to fostering a respectful, responsible, safe, and learning-focused environment where every student is empowered to achieve their best.
