Wellbeing and Inclusion Update
External Allied Health
The school environment can be the ideal location for our students to engage with allied health professionals such as occupational therapists, speech pathologists, behaviour specialists and psychologists. We, at Westbreen Primary School, are keen to build relationships with the allied health professionals who work with our students in order to create a safe and supportive environment in which all adults are working on the same goal(s) and using the same strategies to support each child’s development.
The Wellbeing & Inclusion Team has finalised our External Allied Health - Expectations and Agreements Policy. This policy is available on the school website on the policies page: https://westbreenps.vic.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/WPS-External-Allied-Health-Expectations-and-Agreements-2026.pdf
Parents/carers and visiting allied health professionals can complete information and consent forms.
Existing families that have allied health professionals that visit the school, we will email you the policy along with the appropriate forms to be filled out now that it has been finalised.
For future allied health visits supported by the NDIS, we encourage parents/carers to contact Miss Tamie Florence (Disability Inclusion Coordinator) - tamie.florence@education.vic.gov.au

As you are aware, in Term 4 last year, we released our updated Team Westbreen Positive Behaviour Expectations Matrix. Staff have been explicitly teaching these positive behaviours to our students (linking them to our school values) again at the beginning of this year.
The Wellbeing School Improvement Team, which consists of a teacher from every year level and some specialist teachers, have also created various matrix on how these positive behaviours should be displayed in different settings across the school. This week we are sharing the expected behaviours to be shown by students when in the classroom . Once again, we encourage families to reinforce the appropriate positive behaviours at home.
