The 5Ps
The 5Ps are a framework that describes the five learning behaviours expected of students at all times, with specific actions for each to guide students towards success. These behaviours ensure that all students are able to engage with their learning and maximise their opportunity for growth and achievement. Additionally, these behaviours and actions are key to success beyond the classroom and position students to find success after their time at Hurlstone Agricultural High School.
This framework also aims to establish a consistent language of learning behaviour management across all classes and amongst all teachers to establish predictable and achievable routines for all students. In much the same way that the Quality Teaching Framework provides teachers with a common language for pedagogy, the 5Ps provides teachers with a common language for expectations and behaviour.
Finally, the 5Ps seek to provide more effective, timely and nuanced feedback to parents/carers regarding their child's engagement and success. With more specific feedback, the school and parents/carers can support all students to engage with their learning to the best of their abilities as a team.
