Wellbeing

SWPBS Info: 

Following our recent newsletter on how staff encourage and acknowledge expected behaviour at SEPS, we’d like to share our school-wide approach to fostering successful classrooms.

Our teachers use a combination of indirect and direct strategies to support positive behaviour:

Examples of indirect strategies include:

• Standing near students to encourage focus
• Using non-verbal cues
• Praising students who are meeting expectations

If further support is needed, teachers may use more direct approaches. Below is a visual flow chart to demonstrate how teachers support students with direct techniques in the classroom when a minor behaviour (such as calling out during a lesson, not starting an assigned task, not using furniture for its intended purpose, etc.) is being displayed. 

It is important to us that responses to behaviour are fair, consistent, and educational, helping students understand and meet behavioural expectations. 

Community Event: Get your Reconciliation on!

‘Get Your Reconciliation On’ is a major community event that will kick-start National Reconciliation Week 2025. It’s a celebration of diversity, inclusion and First Nations people and cultures. It is being run by First Peoples’ Health and Wellbeing in partnership with Nairm Marr Djambana, Bunurong Land Council, Indigenous Sports Network and Clothing the Gaps.

Location: Frankston Foreshore, 7N Pier Promenade, Frankston. 

When: Saturday 31 May 10am to 3pm. 

There’ll be musicians, food trucks, Blak Markets and entertainment for the whole family. The amazing line-up includes Electric Fields, Jem Cassar-Daley, Soju Gang, Kamahi King and Indigenous Outreach Projects.

The event is free. People can just come along for the music and food trucks or they can register in a 2km or 5km all-abilities Fun Run to help raise awareness of the health impacts of racism on First Peoples.
