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.

  At Tirriwirri school our approach encompasses a whole school approach to Wellbeing, implemented in classroom whole school lessons, positive psychology and growth mindset. Aligned with Positive Behaviour for learning (PBL), Tier 1 is a whole school approach, Tier 2 is a group or class approach, and Tier 3 is Individual Interventions. Tier 2 and 3 approaches involve the Learning and Support team discussions, research and a team around the child approach, with parent/carer and family collaborations.
