Wellbeing

At our school, student wellbeing and learning go hand in hand. We want every student to feel safe, included and ready to learn. Whether your child needs help with their mental, emotional, social or physical wellbeing, we are here to help them thrive at school and in daily life.

How we support student wellbeing

Supporting each student’s mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing is part of everyday school life.

We do this through:

• teachers who help students feel welcome and included
• access to school counsellors, school psychologists and specialist staff
• programs that support health, social skills, attendance and positive behaviour
• help for students who are new or changing year levels
• clear expectations for behaviour and respectful relationships
• staff who get to know each child and work closely with families
• developing health care plans for students
• open communication about wellbeing and support.

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL)

Our school embeds the Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) framework across all school systems to enhance academic and social behaviour outcomes for students. PBL is a school-wide behaviour initiative that employs a whole school systems approach to address problem behaviour and reduce its effects on student outcomes and on the school community as a whole. PBL encourages positive behaviour from students, which has been shown to improve their motivation to learn. PBL operates as a systemic umbrella for a broad range of programs in our school, including values education, anti-bullying and the learning support team.

PBL is an evidence-based whole school systems approach that:

• addresses the diverse academic and social needs of all students to support them to be successful
• supports students in early childhood settings through to senior years of schooling
• enables schools to establish a continuum of supports that are intensified to meet the needs of all students
• is team driven, using a problem-solving approach (data, systems and practices) that engages students, parents and all school staff
• establishes positive social expectations for all in the school community
• provides a framework for the school and its community to collectively support the wellbeing of all students.

When implemented well:

• students respond positively as they have been taught what is expected of them
• staff deliver consistent responses to student learning and behaviour
• students feel safe and cared for at school
• their parents, family and community are more involved in their school
• unproductive and challenging behaviour can be significantly reduced for most students.
