Wellbeing @ Silverton

In Term 1 our focus Value is GRATITUDE!

Student Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS)

At Silverton, we follow the SWPBS (School-wide Positive Behaviour Support) program.  This helps our school build consistent, whole-school systems that promote positive behaviour, wellbeing, and inclusion, and assists us in creating the right conditions for effective teaching, learning, and leadership. Below is our school ‘Expectation Matrix’. Each fortnight Learning Centres select a new expectation focus which are prominently on show, and taught in slow starts every morning, and in Wellbeing sessions. 

Keep an eye on future newsletters to learn more about what your child’s year level is exploring via our Wellbeing Curriculum in relation to our Values & RRRR curriculum.

Respectful Relationships

Respectful Relationships is a Victorian Government initiative that supports schools and early childhood settings to promote respect, positive attitudes and healthy behaviours. At Silverton Primary School, Respectful Relationships is an integral part of our curriculum and school culture. This evidence-based initiative supports us to both promote and model respect, equality and positive behaviours across our whole community.

Through Respectful Relationships, our students develop essential social and emotional skills that benefit them now and into the future.

The program aims to:

• Model respect and equality across the whole school community.
• Support social and emotional learning through explicit teaching.
• Promote gender equality and respectful relationships as a foundation for preventing family violence.
• Build a positive school culture where all members feel safe, included and valued.

The program is delivered through the Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships (RRRR) teaching and learning materials, aligned with the Victorian Curriculum from Foundation - Yr12. These resources support students to develop skills in emotional literacy, recognising personal strengths, positive coping strategies, problem-solving, stress management, help-seeking, gender identity and positive gender relations.
