Everton Park State High School is a proud Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) school that strives to create positive relationships between all members of our growing school community.
PBL Demonstration School 2026
Everton Park State High School is officially recognised by the Department of Education as a PBL Demonstration school that accurately uses evidence-informed practices to support student behaviour, engagement and wellbeing. EPSHS has been identified through a verification review as achieving high-quality sustained implementation of PBL Tier 1. A PBL Demonstration School is regarded as a role model to inspire and guide other schools to build a positive school culture.
The EPSHS PBL values are: Be Responsible, Be Respectful, and Be Your Best
The implementation and teaching of these core expectations is deliberately aimed at equipping students with the skills and values that are required for them to be successful and thriving community members both now, and into the future.
The PBL Team meets twice per term and uses the PBL framework to implement a whole school, evidence-based approach to behaviour support. This team includes student involvement, staff involvement and parental representation.
The PBL framework takes an instructional approach to behaviour, recognising that students need to be taught the desired behaviours that will equip them for success at both school and beyond.
At EPSHS, PBL is visible and implemented via the following (and other) methods:
- Clearly establishing the core expectations of school community members:
Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Your Best - Clearly articulated classroom rules visibly displayed and enforced
- Teaching expected behaviours through a weekly behavioural focus lesson
- Emphasising the weekly behavioural focus through assembly presentations
- Everton Park Pride Ticket Draw winners receive prizes and take part in reward events to recognise and reinforce positive behaviour
- EPIC Awards (Everton Park Incentive Certificates)
- Regular meetings between key stakeholders to discuss behaviour data from within the school to implement interventions when required, and to share successes when required
- Linking our behaviour management processes with regional teams to ensure currency of research-based practices
