Wellbeing and Positive Behaviour Support

SPS is a nurturing, inclusive and safe school community. Our holistic approach to learning and wellbeing ensures students feel connected, supported and empowered. They develop the skills and capabilities needed to thrive, contribute and respond positively to the challenges and opportunities of life.

At Sandringham Primary School we support positive behaviour and respectful relationships by focusing on:

• Building relationships (Connected)
  • genuine care and mutual respect
  • sense of belonging and community
• Providing safe and inclusive classroom environments (Protected)
  • clear and consistent expectations explicitly taught (School Values)
  • inclusive practices
  • cognitive engagement
  • timely feedback and recognition of effort
  • consistent response to all student behaviour
• Building student capability (Empowered)
• skills and capabilities explicitly taught (Human Literacy- SPICE)
• student voice, agency, and leadership

 

At SPS we develop strong partnerships with families to support the social, physical, intellectual, cultural and emotional development of every child. We foster this collaborative approach with parents through Parent Teacher Meetings, phone calls, parent information sessions, newsletters, reports and educational forums. We use Restorative Practices to help navigate and resolve conflict in a respectful, inclusive and empowering way.
