Student Wellbeing

At Goollelal Primary School, we place student health and wellbeing at the heart of our educational programs.

We believe that student wellbeing — including strong social, emotional and mental health — is fundamental to student success and learning.

We actively support student wellbeing through a combination of approaches, including our Positive Behaviour Plan, Protective Behaviours lessons, the You Can Do It! (YCDI) program, our In-School Chaplaincy Service, and parent information relating to wellbeing and mental health.

The language and principles of YCDI are embedded across the school through explicit lessons and integration across all learning areas and aspects of daily school life.

We believe in engaging students positively to establish a safe, enjoyable and secure learning environment. Our Student Engagement Policy incorporates a range of strategies designed to maximise student engagement and maintain a high standard of behaviour. We take a proactive approach in which expected behaviours are explicitly taught, empowering students to make responsible and positive choices.
