Irrawang High School
Irrawang High School is proud to be a Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) school and a valued partner in the Raymond Terrace Community PBL program.
Through our PBL framework, students are encouraged and recognised for consistently demonstrating our core values of Respect, Responsibility and Personal Best.
These values are reinforced both in the classroom and beyond the school gates, helping students develop into respectful, responsible and active members of the community.
It has been wonderful to see so many of our students acknowledged for their positive behaviour and responsible citizenship throughout the Port Stephens community.
Our partnership with the Raymond Terrace Community PBL program strengthens the connection between schools, local businesses and the wider community, celebrating the positive impact young people make every day.

Shonequa is nominated for her exceptional initiative and helpfulness. When a lost dog wandered into the local IGA, she calmly guided the dog outside and stayed with it until the owner arrived. Her readiness to assist enabled the IGA staff to continue serving customers smoothly, making a meaningful and positive impact. Way to go Shonequa.
