Wellbeing

PBL

At SFS, our PBL (Positive Behaviours for Learning) school wide expectations are:

Respect,  Responsibility and Kindness

We have a whole school social skills lesson where we explicitly teach an expected behaviour from our Behaviour Expectation matrix. 

This week we have continued to  focus on RESPONSIBILITY in the LEARNING SPACE: Listen and Follow Instructions. 

The teachers explained to the students why it is important for us to follow this expected behaviour. We all need to be safe, healthy and happy at school. It is everyone’s responsibility to follow rules and do the right thing. What do I do when I am actively listening? When we make positive choices and follow instructions, we work much better together and we can focus better on our learning.

Here are some of our PBL raffle winners  who have been seen demonstrating school expected behaviours.

Child Safety standards

To highlight the importance of Child Safety in schools, MACS (Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools) has created a resource called “11 standards in 11 months.” 

Let’s look at Child standard 9 in more detail through a newsletter created for parents and carers by MACS. Child safe standard 9 is “Physical and online environments promote safety and wellbeing while minimising the opportunity for children and young people to be harmed”.

If you have any concern about your child’s mental health or wellbeing, please do not hesitate to contact me or make a time to speak with me. 

My working days are Monday to Wednesday and Friday. I will be on leave for the last week of term so if you have any wellbeing concerns for your child that need to be addressed promptly, please speak with your child’s Homegroup teacher or Christine and Angela. 

I look forward to continuing to support the school community in Term 3.
