Student Wellbeing

lend_a_hand_x_2.pngBe Kind and Lend A Hand

Last week Star of the Sea joined schools around Australia in the National Day of Action Against Bullying. As part of our celebrations, students used their Circle Time to discuss the super-powers that allows them to be an Upstander who can BE KIND and LEND A HAND when they see others in need.  Some students also worked in small groups to produce videos showing how they can use their Super Powers to help others who are being bullied or harmed..

At Our Lady Star of the Sea School, we teach social and emotional learning skills, and promote healthy and positive relationships across the whole school community to help prevent bullying or violent behaviour.

With our focus on positive relationships between peers and positive student relationships with teachers, we aim to ensure the following circumstances are in place across our whole school community:

  • most students feel connected to their school
  • students have sound levels of social and emotional skills
  • there are strong school norms against bullying aggression
  • students perceive the school has clear support and disciplinary structures in place
  • students perceive that staff in the school actively care about and promote student wellbeing and student welfare
  • that the environment of their school is positive, welcoming, cooperative and fair
  • the classroom teachers uses effective behaviour management
  • educators promote cooperation
  • the culture of the school is positive, caring, respectful and supportive.

The relationships and social behaviour of role models and mentors (including parents & teachers) can have a significant influence on young people who are continuing to develop relationship skills. When children are exposed to positive, respectful and inclusive behaviours, they are more likely to act in these ways.

Thanks for your support to make Our Lady Star of the Sea a great school for everyone.
