Student Wellbeing Guidelines
RATIONALE
At Maroubra Junction Public School, a fair student wellbeing policy is an important part of providing an environment conducive to learning for all. This assists students to become self-directed and life-long learners who can create a positive future for themselves and for the wider community. This policy has been developed collaboratively with students, staff, parent/caregiver organisations and the school council.
A balanced approach
Our wellbeing policy sets out a balanced, whole school approach that recognises student achievement and addresses unacceptable behaviour. It is based on developing student responsibilities, encouraging respect and creating good conditions for effective teaching and learning.
This wellbeing policy covers:
- the values that underpin our school decisions
- a Core Value Code which reflects the DEC Core Rules
- strategies to promote good discipline and effective learning within the classroom and playground
- practices designed to recognise and reinforce student achievement
- strategies for addressing unacceptable behaviour.
