Wellbeing
The wellbeing of our students is paramount to their learning success. Here at Moss Vale Public School, we strive to build a culture of trust built on Responsibility, Respect and Excellence. The wellbeing and safety of all of our students, their families and our staff matter.
There are people that you and your child can talk to should you have a problem. Staff at our school are always willing to listen and help.
Mindfulness
Classrooms practice mindfulness daily for a 5-10 minute period following Break 1 and/or Break 2 daily. We find that by practising mindfulness, our students are encouraged to:
- reduce stress
- build resilience
- slow down and
- pay attention as they prepare for further learning.
The practice of Mindfulness helps to:
- enhance student wellbeing
- increase the overall wellbeing of our students
- create a positive learning environment at our school.
Positive Behaviour for Learning
Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) is an evidence-based framework that brings together the whole-school community to contribute to developing a positive, safe and supportive learning culture. The framework assists our school to improve social, emotional, behavioural and academic outcomes for children and young people.
When PBL is implemented with consistency, teachers and students have more time to focus on relationships and classroom instruction.

We are committed to creating quality learning opportunities for children and young people through:
