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.

Every student is known, valued, and cared for at Glenvale School.
At Glenvale School, we are excited to introduce the ‘Positive Behaviour for Learning’ (PBL) framework. PBL is a whole-school approach designed to create a positive, safe, and supportive school environment where all students can learn and grow.
Positive Behaviours for Learning
Our school has adopted the Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoo as our PBL Mascot.
What is PBL?
PBL focuses on teaching students the skills they need to be responsible, respectful, and active members of our school community. Through PBL, students learn how to manage their actions, learning, and look after their personal belongings, helping them succeed both at school and in the wider community.
When we are kind, we:
Look after each other and our belongings
Are inclusive
Use toys and equipment appropriately
When we are safe, we:
Listen to our teachers
Stay in the right place
Take turns with friends
When we are good learners, we:
Participate in groups
Sit and listen attentively
Communicate and make choices
Teaching and Reinforcing Positive Behaviours
Our staff are committed to teaching students the social and emotional skills they need to be valued members of their families, school, and community. This teaching happens daily in all school settings, including classrooms, playgrounds, and specialised learning areas like the canteen, library, music therapy as well as during community access excursions and on transport.
