Medowie Public School
THE Term 3 Week 3 PBL awards were hosted by Medowie Public School.
At Medowie Public School, we believe every child deserves to learn in an environment where they feel safe, respected and supported.
Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) is at the heart of our school culture, providing a consistent framework that encourages students to make positive choices and develop the skills they need to succeed both at school and in the wider community.
Our school is proud to be part of the Community PBL network, working alongside families and the local community to promote shared expectations and celebrate positive behaviour.
Together, we are building a culture where every student is empowered to learn, grow and reach their full potential.

Riley shines as a responsible and caring STAR Leader at our school. She is always the first to lend a helping hand to younger peers and shows great respect for our equipment by maintaining the sports shed. Her willingness to embrace new challenges and push her own boundaries is truly inspiring. Well done Riley!
Raymond Terrace PS
Jasper is nominated for the kindness and respect he shows others. He matches this with personal responsibility. In the Wellbeing Hub Jasper helps younger students with their activities, always encouraging them to have a go before assisting them and then showing them how and helping them to pack up. He always checks to see the hub is packed up perfectly before leaving. Everyone values his responsibility.
