Wellbeing

Tempe Public School supports student wellbeing by creating safe, inclusive environments where students feel connected, respected and understood. We explicitly teach social-emotional skills and provide timely support for students who need extra help.

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:

strong, positive relationships

- teachers who help students feel welcome and included

- adults who respond consistently, calmly and respectfully

- open communication about wellbeing and support between our school and families
clear expectations and predictable routines

- behaviour expectations that are explicitly taught, fair and consistent

- daily routines that help students feel secure and know what to expect

- help for students who are new or changing year levels
inclusive and culturally responsive practices

- learning environments that reflect students’ identities, cultures and strengths

- classroom activities where all students can participate meaningfully
support systems for wellbeing

- access to school counsellors, school psychologists and specialist staff

- early intervention and support for students who need extra help

- programs that support health, social skills, attendance and positive behaviour
safe physical and emotional environments

- classrooms free from harassment and discrimination

- spaces where students can express themselves without fear of judgement

- Anti-Racism Contact Officer (ARCO) visible and known within the school, providing a safe point of contact for all

_{Positive Behaviour for Learning}

PBL at Tempe Public School

Positive Behaviours for Learning (PBL) is a school-wide behaviour initiative. PBL encourages positive behaviour from students, which supports and nurtures students’ own personal development. At Tempe, our three core values are safe, respectful and responsible.

All staff members explicitly teach behaviour expectations, support positive behaviour, use the same language and follow consistent behaviour management procedures.

Our PBL signage supports students in making positive behaviour choices. Have a look around the school to learn more about the expectations for each area of the school!

^{Peaceful Kids}

Peaceful Kids at Tempe Public School

The 'Peaceful Kids' program is a Mindfulness and Positive Psychology based program to lessen anxiety and stress and increase resilience in children. This program helps children to build their emotional resilience so they are better equipped to deal with the day to day stresses that life brings them. At Tempe, we run Peaceful Kids groups each term. Students can be nominated to join by their teacher or parent/carer.

Social Skills group helps students learn and practise the social and problem-solving skills they need to succeed at school and beyond. By explicitly teaching these skills in a supportive, structured setting, the group strengthens positive relationships, reduces inappropriate behaviour, and increases the time students can spend engaged in learning. This proactive approach supports contributes to a safe, inclusive environment that enhances both academic achievement and student wellbeing. Students can be nominated to join a social skills group by their teacher or parent/carer.
