We All Make Choices - Make good, positive choices

We All Make Choices - Make good, positive choices

This presentation provides students with visual examples of positive and negative behaviour choices. It encourages class discussion of each scenario and opens the door for discussions around feelings, friendship, cooperation, kindness and behaviour expectations. This is a valuable resource to utilise in the first week of the school year and can be used frequently to revise expectations.
