A direct investment in student behaviour support
The Queensland Government is providing schools with the Behaviour Boost, a dedicated resource to help schools respond to student needs and support positive behaviour. This initiative ensures schools have the flexibility to address behaviour challenges effectively.
Practical support for teachers and students
Schools can use the Behaviour Boost to engage school-based behaviour specialists, who work directly with teachers, teacher aides and school leaders to implement proven behaviour support strategies for individual students or groups. Behaviour Specialists provide hands-on support to teachers and staff, helping them implement evidence-based strategies that improve behaviour and support students to succeed.
Tailored solutions for every school
The Behaviour Boost is designed to meet the unique needs of each school community. This resource gives schools the tools they need to create safer, more supportive learning environments. Every school is different, and the Behaviour Boost gives schools the flexibility to use resources in ways that best meet the needs of their students and communities. This ensures that support is targeted and effective.
Listening to principals, supporting schools
The Behaviour Boost was introduced in response to feedback from principals, who called for more flexibility in appointing specialist staff to meet their school's specific needs. This initiative reflects the government's commitment to listening and acting on what schools need most.
Eligibility for Queensland state schools. All Queensland state schools are eligible for the Behaviour Boost resource, ensuring that students across the state benefit from this targeted support. Specialised centres and programs, such as Outdoor and Environmental Education Centres, are not included in this allocation.
