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)

At Pottsville Beach Public School every student learns, grows and belongs to achieve ambitious learning goals and have the best start in life. Our young learners will develop foundation skills in literacy and numeracy through the implementation of engaging, high quality, evidence-based rich learning experiences to develop vital skills for flourishing now and in future years. Strong and meaningful wellbeing and transition processes at key points, and embracing student voice and agency ensures students connect, succeed, thrive and learn on a journey to equity and excellence. We value student voice and harness the commitment of our teachers to provide an outstanding education for every learner.  This is achieved through the curriculum, strong content knowledge and the ability to learn, adapt and be responsible citizens, in a safe, inclusive and supportive environment.

Pottsville Beach Public School is committed to explicitly teaching and modelling positive behaviour and to supporting all students to be engaged with their learning.

Our goal is to inspire every child to participate positively in the school community and beyond. We focus on promoting excellence, opportunity and success for every student, every day. We value and strive to develop safe, respectful learners in a caring learning community.

Principles of positive behaviour support, trauma-informed practice, inclusive practice, and social emotional learning underpin our daily practice. High expectations for student behaviour are established and maintained through effective role modelling, explicit teaching, and planned responses.

Our students have the following rights and responsibilities, which align to our PBL Wellbeing Framework (please see below).
