Farewell from Anna

To the TPS Community,

 

I would like to let you know that I have accepted a role at another school. Friday 25th November was my last day. Thankyou to TPS staff, families and students for teaching me, guiding me and holding space for me. I have learnt so much and am so so grateful for all the opportunities that I have been given. After 8 years of learning and working in many different capacities and roles, the TPS community will always have a place in my heart.

 

Thankyou!

Anna

 

 

For the last few weeks of Term Four, 2022, please contact Emma Cornish-Giles and David Wells for any wellbeing referrals. At TPS a number of evidence-based programs and systems are in place to support students’ mental health, disabilities, behaviour and specific learning difficulties.

 

Wellbeing At TPS Overview

 

School Wide Positive Behaviour Supports looks at school wide systems and supports that work to prevent, teach and reinforce prosocial behaviours. There is an explicit teaching aspect of this (Deadly Values) and then there is the actions and systems taken to ensure all students access learning.

 

Berry St Model looks at building staff capacity in supporting students who have experienced and are experiencing trauma.

 

Resilience, Rights, and Respectful Relationships is our mandated system aiming to prevent domestic violence by reducing antisocial behaviours including gender-related violence by developing students’ social, emotional, and positive relationship skills.

 

Mental Health in Primary Schools Pilot Program provides training and support networks between schools called Communities of Practice, where schools connect, share ideas, and learn from each other to build capacity in staff to support students’ mental health. 

  

All these programs have different foci but overlap in areas and align with the TPS Student Engagement and Wellbeing policy and ongoing strategic plan goals in supporting student wellbeing. Please find more information below about what TPS is doing in the different areas of wellbeing.
