Wellbeing

Being a Be You (formally Kids Matter) school, means that we have built a positive school community that nurtures the development of our students through:

• Social and emotional learning

• Programs to assist our students with mental health difficulties

• School wide positive behaviour programs

• Hosting a Breakfast Club each morning

• Celebration assemblies with awards, acknowledgements and performances

• Additional assistance for students with disabilities and special learning needs in Literacy and Numeracy

At Eastbourne Primary School, we believe that students feel connected when staff, families and the local community are involved in daily school life. We encourage our families to work in partnership with the school to achieve the best outcomes for each child. “The Zones of Regulation” is a resource designed to help students identify their feelings and emotional reactions, learning sensory and perspective strategies that encourage better their self regulation. A simple colour coded, four zones format encourages emotional learning. This is a classroom and family friendly tool with wide application across students of all ages, right into adulthood. We have our very own Zone Centre for students to access throughout the day when they feel they need help regulating. We have Speech Therapists, Paediatricians, an Anglicare Officer and our School Chaplain who all support our strong Student Wellbeing programs.

At Eastbourne Primary School we value: Learning, Respect, Collaboration and Community and we are a RRR school - Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships.  The RRR Program covers Social and Emotional Learning across all levels of primary and secondary education: Emotional Literacy; Personal Strengths; Positive Coping; Problem Solving; Stress Management; Help Seeking; Gender and Identity; and Positive Gender Relationships.
