Wellbeing
Learning and Wellbeing Go Hand in Hand
At Paterson Public School, we believe that students thrive when learning and wellbeing are nurtured together. We are committed to creating a supportive environment where every child feels safe, valued, and empowered to succeed. Through a balanced focus on academic excellence and emotional growth, we help students build confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning. Because when students feel well, they learn well, and when they learn well, they flourish.
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:
- teachers who help students feel welcome and included
- access to school counsellors, school psychologists and specialist staff
- programs that support health, social skills, attendance and positive behaviour
- help for students who are new or changing year levels
- clear expectations for behaviour and respectful relationships
- staff who get to know each child and work closely with families
- developing health care plans for students
- open communication about wellbeing and support.
School counsellor
Our school offers a confidential counselling service to our students.
School counsellor can:
- support students who are worrying about school work, friends, behaviour or feeling down
- help parents and carers make decisions about their child's education
- assess a student's learning and behaviour
- work with teachers and students to support learning needs and disabilities
- connect families with other agencies for student wellbeing.
