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,
-
