The wellbeing of our students is paramount to their learning success. Here at Moss Vale Public School, all our students’ wellbeing matters. 

We have wellbeing facilitators in our school to assist

·     students 

·     families

·     teachers 

·     support staff

Students use their time with our wellbeing facilitators to ready themselves for the day of learning. Children can see the wellbeing facilitator at any time during a school day with consent from the school staff. 

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is taught in our classrooms. 

The aim of introducing a short moment of calmness and quite time in the classroom is to 

·     increase the overall wellbeing of our students 

·     create a positive learning environment at our school

·     improve every aspect of our school and daily lives

Mindfulness activities include

·     The breath bubble

·     Listening to nature sounds

·     Sitting still like a frog

Positive behaviour for learning

At our school, we apply the Positive Behaviour for Learning approach. This is a whole-school approach for creating a positive, safe and supportive school climate where students can learn and develop. Our whole school community works together to establish expected behaviours and teach them to all students.

Wellbeing framework

Like all NSW public schools, we provide safe learning and teaching environments to encourage;

·      healthy,

·      happy,

·      successful and 

·      productive students.

The department is committed to creating quality learning opportunities for children and young people through;

·      positive and respectful relationships and

·      fostering a sense of belonging to the school and community.

The Wellbeing Framework for Schools allows students to connect, succeed and thrive throughout their education by supporting the cognitive, physical, social, emotional and spiritual development of students.
