Observed changes in school after the implementation of PAX whole school approach
| Impacts of PAX | Key informant statements |
| Students are learning self-regulation | Well like I said their attitudes, their voices, they have self-control, they practice self-control. They no longer shout answers, they know to raise their hand quietly and respectfully. (S1-I2) |
| Students are quieter | I see a difference, like from all the years I’ve been teaching, this is the first time I’ve ever used PAX and I can see that when you blow that harmonica they’re like this and they’re quiet and they’re listening and they’re looking at you, so I like it, I think it works, it works. (S2-I4) |
| Students are demonstrating knowledge about PAX-GBG | I noticed the harmonica one, the harmonica signal, as soon as you blow on that harmonica they know, like in assembly, they quiet down and they get on track. So the harmonica really has influenced a lot - the, up to grade 6 - I guess, because they know now that harmonica signal. (S3-I3) the last ( assembly ) I was at it was not too bad, so possibly that could have been a result of the PAX, so from about 3, 4 months ago to the last month or so there’s definitely been an improvement. (S2-I2) |
