Positive Behaviour for Learning

PublishingPageContent
​​Ripley Valley State Secondary College is committed to maintaining a positive and supportive learning environment where all students have opportunities to experience success.

Our PB4L framework teaches students expected standards of behaviour and reinforces these positive behaviours through our weekly focus lessons. Students are recognised and rewarded when they demonstrate positive behaviours that reflect our College values of Respect, Responsibility and Perseverance.

Our College values

Respect Responsibility Perseverance

Ripley Rewards Program

The Ripley Rewards Program forms an integral part of our PB4L framework and provides students with recognition for demonstrating positive behaviour across the College.

Teachers stamp students' diaries when they see students demonstrating positive behaviours. Each stamp is worth 1 point, with students also contributing points towards their House: Blaine, Flinders, Goolman or Perry.

Students can accumulate their points and use them to receive rewards from the Ripley Vault.

The Reward Vault

Recognising positive behaviour

Ripley Rewards recognise the everyday positive choices students make across the College. Points provide students with an opportunity to work towards rewards while also contributing to their House.

Celebrating attendance

End-of-term celebrations are held to recognise students who achieve greater than 90% attendance.

Raptor Awards

End-of-Year Recognition

Each year at our Annual Awards Ceremony, students have the opportunity to receive a Gold, Silver or Bronze Raptor Award.

These awards recognise students who consistently demonstrate commitment, positive behaviour, strong effort and engagement in our College community.
