Positive Behaviour for Learning weekly winners

HERE are Port Stephens’ Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) Term 2, Week  7 winners.

Each week, students are recognised for demonstrating our core values of Respect, Responsibility and Personal Best. Over the years, this has led to positive changes in how our students represent our school and engage with the wider Port Stephens community.
