Wellbeing
This is a significant area of difference for our school. At Narraweena PS, we know that students feel a strong sense of belonging and connection. At our school, student wellbeing and learning go hand in hand. We want every student to feel happy, 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.

Peace Keepers
Year 5 students take on a leadership role to promote playground harmony. The 'Peace Keepers' help others negotiate small problems before they become big ones.
The Anxiety Project
The Anxiety Project (TAP) aims to help staff and parents/carers reduce children's anxiety by teaching about managing emotions and building resilience. We have measured significant success in this program.
Buddies
Year 6 students take on a mentor role with a kindergarten student to help their transition to school. Through the year, buddies spend time together for a variety of learning activities including making Easter hats, reading and playing games in the playground.
Positive Reinforcement
All students receive a range of positive incentives to encourage personal development. This document outlines the structure of some of these rewards.
