Forbes Public School is a positive behaviour school. Staff focus on strengths to build student self-confidence and explicitly teach rules and expectations to ensure children can succeed across all settings. Teachers and SLSOs frequently give out blue cards to acknowledge positive choices and reinforce the values safe, respectful and responsible. Individuals post half their blue card in a tub for the chance to win a Friday slushie. The other half goes in a tall, clear tube and goes up and up until it reaches the top - then it is reward time! The school receives a whole-day of fun like: PJ Day, disco, movie and popcorn, footy colours dress-up day, swap playgrounds, mini Olympics or water fun day. They ended the year with a colour run where students received put on sunnies and ran through the Fire Brigade’s hoses, flew down slip-n-slides, manoeuvred around an obstacle course, dunked in the blow-up pools, dodged wet sponges, were squirted by water guns, jumped over hurdles and of course got colourful corn flour on them. The students had so much fun!
