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.

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL)

At Cardiff South Public School, Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) is a cornerstone of our vibrant school community. We actively encourage, recognise and reward positive behaviour, creating a supportive environment where students and teachers collaborate to learn and demonstrate our expected behaviours. Through engaging lessons and school-wide events, our students understand the importance of respect, responsibility and excellence in their daily interactions. Immediate acknowledgement is given through the presentation of Southy Tokens, motivating students to continue making positive choices.

As students collect Southy Tokens, they work towards exciting school-wide rewards that grow throughout the year. These range from extra class free time and fun silly sock or hair days to refreshing water activities as the weather warms. Student voice is valued and they enjoy giving suggestions for various rewards. This approach not only reinforces consistent behaviour standards but also fosters a strong sense of collective responsibility to care for one another and our environment. At Cardiff South, Positive Behaviour for Learning builds a respectful, responsible and excellent school culture where every individual feels valued and supported.  Cardiff South is a wonderful place to be, we definitely have a beautiful school community who always tries their best.
