At Fountain Gate Primary School, student wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. Guided by our core values of Respect, Trust and Care, we work together to create a safe, inclusive and connected community where every child feels valued, supported and ready to learn.

​

Our wellbeing approach draws on evidence-based practices that create calm and supportive learning environments where students can feel settled, attentive and ready to engage in learning. We take a whole-school approach that promotes belonging, positive relationships and respect for self and others.

​

To meet the diverse needs of our students, the school has established a Multidisciplinary Wellbeing Team that includes two full-time wellbeing and inclusion leaders, a social worker, speech therapist, occupational therapist and psychologist. Working together, this team provides classroom support and small-group programs that help children build skills, confidence and reach their learning and developmental goals.

​

Our approach builds social-emotional learning, resilience and positive connections, while supporting students’ individual needs through proactive, inclusive and collaborative practices, including:

 

• Caring and skilled staff who nurture students’ personal and interpersonal development

​

• A whole-school restorative approach that helps students repair issues and move forward productively
   

• Positive behaviour education that protects rights and reinforces responsibilities through our values of Respect, Trust and Care
   

• Inclusive practices that ensure equitable access, participation and success for all students
   

• Anti-bullying and diversity programs that promote understanding, acceptance and celebration of difference
   

Through these combined efforts, we build a caring and connected community where every student feels safe, respected and supported to reach their full potential, academically, socially and emotionally.
