Appropriate School Uniform

Over the past few weeks it has been noticeable that a small number of our students have started to wear incorrect school uniform. Please take the time to view below our Do’s and Don’ts for wearing school uniform.

School-wide Positive Behaviour for Learning Evaluation

Last Tuesday we were lucky enough to have our North Queensland Regional PBL Rep visit our school to survey our students and staff with the intent on evaluating the effectiveness of our Positive Behaviour for learning program. Students and staff were asked several questions like “What are our school values?” and “What rewards do you get if you are displaying correct behaviour?” Although our official results are not in yet, our initial feedback was very positive with almost every student able to articulate our PBL processes, school core values and what our weekly expected behaviours focus was. This is great news for us, as we have been working in the PBL space for the past 6 years here at Bowen SS promoting positive behaviour and developing a safe and supportive environment across the school. A special thank you goes out to our PBL team leaders Mr Gulliver and Mr Seago for their efforts in continuing the work laid out by Mrs Witts and Mrs Insch from previous years.

If you would like to know more about how PBL works in our school, please access our ‘Student Code of Conduct’ document available via our school’s website.
