Wellbeing

At our school, student wellbeing and learning go hand in hand. We want every student to feel safe, included and ready to learn. Whether your child needs help with their mental, emotional, social or physical wellbeing, we are here to help them thrive at school and in daily life.

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.

Our award system encourages positive behaviour, strong learning habits and personal growth.

🏅 Merit Awards – Everyday Recognition

Students can receive Merit Awards for:

✔ Showing positive behaviour
✔ Being respectful
✔ Demonstrating FROGS values at school

Merit Awards are given regularly to acknowledge effort and positive choices.

👉 Merit Awards are the only awards that count toward Honour Awards.

🎖 Honour Award Progression

As students collect Merit Awards, they move through the Honour Award levels:

🥉 Bronze Honour Award – 10 Merit Awards
🥈 Silver Honour Award – 20 Merit Awards total

🏆 Principal’s Medal – 40 Merit Awards total

Each Honour Award is recognised with a certificate at assembly, with the Principal’s Medal presented at the annual Presentation Assembly.

⭐ After the Principal’s Medal

Once a student achieves the Principal’s Medal, they continue to earn Merit Awards for recognition and encouragement, even though there are no further Honour Award levels.

📅 Important Information
