Wellbeing

At our school, student wellbeing and learning go hand in hand. We want every student to feel safe, included and ready to learn. Whether your child needs help with their mental, emotional, social or physical wellbeing, we are here to help them thrive at school and in daily life.

How we support student wellbeing

Supporting each student’s mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing is part of everyday school life.

We do this through:

• teachers who help students feel welcome and included
• access to school counsellors and specialist staff
• programs that support health, social skills, attendance and positive behaviour
• help for new students
• clear expectations for behaviour and respectful relationships
• staff who get to know each child and work closely with families
• developing health care plans for students
• open communication about wellbeing and support.

How Kenthurst helps your child

We support your child’s health and safety through a range of strategies including:

• the  behaviour code for students, which outlines the standards of behaviour expected in all NSW public schools
• anti-bullying programs
• conflict resolution and mediation training
• peer support

At our school, we use Positive Behaviour for Learning  – a whole-school approach for creating a positive, safe and supportive school climate where students can learn and develop. Our whole school community works together to establish expected behaviours and teach them to all students.
