Wellbeing

At Parkes East Public 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.

We utilize Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) as our foundation wellbeing program with all students encouraged to be “Safe, Respectful and Responsible” in all their interactions at school.

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, school psychologists and specialist staff
• programs that support health, social skills, attendance and positive behaviour
• help for students who are new or changing year levels
• 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
• Wiradjuri language and culture program taught across the school
• Peer Support program with trained Year 6 students supporting small groups of K-6 peers
• School High Potential and Gifted Education program.
