School Values & Student Wellbeing

Promoting a positive social/emotional environment is paramount with our involvement in the School Wide Positive Behaviour Support for Engagement and Learning (SWPBS-EL) and Kidsmatter initiatives as well as promoting our school values of Respect, Enjoy, Achieve and Learn.

Our School Chaplain is central to our school wellbeing team and supports all members of our school community as necessary. The Chaplain provides a community support and mentor role within our school and is available to meet with students and parents and helps run the Breakfast Club, facilitates Junior School Council and training the Peer Mediators, and takes the Year 5/6s to Wood Turning classes at the Nambrok-Wood Turners

Student Engagement

Our Student Engagement Policy outlines our school values and expected behaviours. A consistent response to undesirable behaviours, as well as acknowledgements and rewards for expected behaviours are outlined. The main thrust of the policy is the embedding of our school values of Respect, Enjoy, Achieve and Learn.
