Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process through which children and young people build and effectively apply knowledge attitudes and skills necessary to:

• Understand and manage emotions
• Set and achieve positive goals 
• Feel and express empathy 
• Establish and maintain positive relationships
• Make responsible decisions
• Develop resilience to deal with change 
• Create positive gender norms 
• Contribute to social cohesion 

To support the development of these skills, students at TPS participate in weekly SEL lessons, drawing on learning materials from a range of evidence-based programs including Respectful Relationship, Friendly Schools, Berry Street Education Model and Talking the Talk. This learning is also woven into the rhythm, routine and rituals of each day, and teachers adjust the learning as required to suit our community needs. 

Our TPS Behaviour Expectations sit alongside the SEL program, and focus on teaching and encouraging positive behaviour, supporting all students, and providing extra help to those who need it. The Behaviour Expectations are influenced by SWPBS (School-wide Positive Behaviour Support) an evidence-based framework designed to help schools create positive, safe, and fair settings where students and teachers can thrive.
