Berserker Street SS will continue to be a PBL school in 2025. This will allow us to continue to explicitly teach and reward positive behaviour for learning with a whole school approach. Each week our students are taught a school wide lesson on a particular focus.

Our school expectations are:

• We are safe

• We are respectful

• We are responsible

• We are learners.

I use School talk with staff and students

I am friendly – greet others

Week 5: I arrive and depart school safely

At Berserker Street State School, we are safe - I arrive and depart school safely.

This in support of this week being National Road safety week.

• I know how to depart safely.

• I am safe on a bike/scooter and in the car.

• I cross the road with caution or use the crossing.

• I arrive at school between 8:15-8:45am.

Berserker Bucks

Students are rewarded for positive behaviour choices with our whole school universal rewards known as Berserker Bucks. Each term students have the opportunity to reach Berserker Bucks milestones with incentives on our rewards day for those who reach our Gold benchmark. Berserker Bucks will change colour each term and this year we have raised the bar with our students blowing expectations out of the water last year. Each Term students who receive their gold award will be eligible to participate in a better and brighter event. Term 2 collection is well under way!

Term 2 PBL Better & Brighter Day – Circus Spectacular

Term 2 Gold reward – Daylight Disco and Pizza!

Bronze – 100 Berserker Bucks

Silver – 150 Berserker Bucks

Gold – 200 Berserker Bucks

A platinum award is presented to students at the end of Term 4 for those students who have received their Gold award in every term of the school year. This year our Platinum award will consist of an excursion to the movies with the cost covered by the school.

Children can also earn extra Berserker Bucks by using our school wide focus word of the week on Wednesday and Friday with school staff.

To promote further incentive the highest earning student in each cohort will be invited to a pizza party with the principal.
