At Victoria Road Primary School, we recognise that wellbeing plays an integral part in the successes our children experience. Our Wellbeing Team coordinate group and individual programs to assist children in navigating their way through the world and equip them with tools and strategies that improve their ability get along with others and achieve their best.
At Victoria Road Primary School we are committed to providing a learning environment that is positive, inclusive, supportive and safe so that students are able to be confident and capable members of our community. We aim to support all students to care for themselves, others, their learning and their school.
School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS or PBS) is an overarching element of our school.
Students took a large role in deciding upon our school values. They collectively agree that the following three values are important:
Be Respectful Towards Others
Be Respectful Towards Yourself
Be Respectful Towards Learning
All students participate in weekly PBS lessons where we teach and explore how to embed these values in our community. Our whole school also engages in Connect and Reflect sessions three times per week where children are given the opportunity to connect with their learning community, reflect on the highlights and challenges of the day and discuss strategies to improve their sense of belonging within our school.

She works alongside individual children who are in need of extra support and engages with their parents to ensure a consistent approach between school and home. She also coordinates small groups within our school so that groups of children, with similar needs, can receive support alongside their peers, practise certain skills and gain confidence in a safe and nurturing environment.
