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.

"Our experience at Porters Creek has been positive, especially in the way the school prioritises student wellbeing. My son has been supported with such care and understanding by his teacher, the learning support teacher, and all of the staff. They consistently foster a positive and inclusive environment where he feels encouraged, valued, and safe. Knowing that his wellbeing is at the heart of his learning has given him the confidence to grow not only academically, but also socially and emotionally. We are so grateful to be part of such a nurturing school community." - Emma, a parent at Porters Creek Public School
