The Schoolwide Positive Behaviour Support program assists schools to implement evidence based approaches to managing student behaviour and related complex support issues at the local community level including:

•  Capacity building of school staff to deal with behaviour issues within existing  resource and skill base
•  Competing values and changing community expectations that can mismatch with  legislative and policy requirements
•  Impact on staff productivity, absenteeism, illness and stress related issues
•  Re-establishing the connection between learning, behaviour and engagement

Projected Outcomes
The projected outcomes of the Schoolwide Positive Behaviour Support Program are focussed on these key areas:

•   Development of a behaviour support system for every child in the host school sites.
•   Use of research data from school sites to design a blueprint for establishing and  maintaining safe, supportive school environments in Queensland schools.
•  Increase collaboration between multiple community support systems, education,  juvenile justice, child and youth mental health, family and medical.
•   Integrate academic and behavioural success for all students through analysis of host  school site research data to assist.
•   Provide working demonstrations to reinforce that rationale for local implementation  and serve as training resources and models of future teams.
