STUDENT WELLBEING

It is important to us here at Oberon that everyone in the school community feels safe, secure and included.

We foster a caring and supportive environment by providing:

• The implementation of the gr8 People Values, where students are formally taught ten attributes and acknowledged and rewarded for exhibiting these behaviours and values,
• • increased respectful and positive behaviour
  • increased time focused on instruction
  • improved social-emotional wellbeing
  • positive and respectful relationships among students and staff
  • increased adoption of evidence-based instructional practices
  • a predictable learning environment with improved perceptions of safety and increased attendance.
  • School-wide positive behaviour support (SWPBS) is a framework that brings together school communities to develop positive, safe, supportive learning cultures.

     

  • The implementation of the Oberon Cyber Safety Program, where students are monitored and guided in the safe and responsible use of Digital Technologies,

  • A highly successful ‘Buddy System’ where the youngest children in our school are allocated a senior buddy who they can seek out for assistance,

  • A strong transition program from Kinder to Prep and Grade 6 to secondary school that includes orientation days and less formal visits,

  • Celebration, tolerance and understanding of individual differences,

  • High expectations of student behaviour,

  • Intervention and extension programs according to student needs,

  • 1:1 support from our Family Liaison and Support Officer.
