School Wide Positive Behaviours

This term at Moriac Primary School, our focus on enhancing student wellbeing has brought about remarkable changes in our school culture. Through the efforts of our staff and students, we have been able to foster a more positive and supportive environment, promoting respectful, responsible and exceptional behaviours.

One of the key strategies we have implemented is the development and refinement of our Behaviour Matrix. This matrix serves as a guide for our students, outlining the expectations for positive behaviours in various settings throughout the school. By clearly defining what it means to be respectful, responsible, and exceptional, we have provided our students with a framework to navigate their daily interactions with their peers and teachers.

Special mention goes to Mr Smith for this entertaining segment each assembly

PIVOT Check-in Pilot Program

We are excited to share another significant development in our journey towards enhancing student wellbeing at Moriac Primary School—the implementation of the Pivot Wellbeing Check-In Program. Thanks to the generous opportunity to trial this innovative program across several classes, we have already witnessed promising results that are strengthening student voice and promoting a more targeted approach to supporting our students' overall wellbeing.

Early signs of the program's impact have been overwhelmingly positive and students have expressed gratitude for being heard and acknowledged. This initiative and promotion of student voice has empowered them to communicate their needs, enabling us to respond with greater empathy and understanding.

Cyber Safety Education

As part of our eSafety program, students from Prep-6 participated in the Victorian Police/Youth Resource Officer program. Senior Constable Cathryn Hastie discussed with our students the importance of being safe online and safe in society.

This program also extended an invitation for parents to engage in a Parent Education Session. This is important as Cyber safety education facilitates open communication between parents, educators, and children. It encourages parents to be more involved in their child's online activities, promoting a shared understanding of potential risks and how to mitigate them.

The following resources can further support you at home with your child's online safety.
