Wellbeing

At Helensburgh Public School, we take a whole-school approach to student wellbeing, recognising that happy, supported students learn best. Our school implements evidence-informed programs, including Positive Behaviour for Learning and Friendly Schools, to promote respectful relationships, positive behaviour, and a safe, inclusive environment. Teachers and staff work closely with families, taking the time to get to know each child and helping them feel welcome and included.

How we support student wellbeing

Key approaches include:

• Using a range of data sources to inform positive behaviour strategies in classrooms and playgrounds.
• Analysing attendance data to implement and evaluate systematic strategies
• Providing evidence-informed  support social skills, attendance, and positive behaviour strategies
• Offering support for students who are new to the school or changing year levels.
• Setting clear expectations for behaviour and respectful relationships.
• Fostering a positive school culture through extra-curricular activities and student voice.
• Providing  access to  school counsellors, psychologists, and other specialist staff
• Creating health care plans for students
• Caring for students by having teacher mentors
• Maintaining open communication about wellbeing and support with families.

This whole-school approach ensures students feel valued, safe, and supported, helping them thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
