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.
The Resilience Project
Lennox Head Public School participates in The Resilience Project.
Based on the evidence-based principles of Gratitude, Empathy, Mindfulness (GEM) and Emotional Literacy, The Resilience Project program equips students with lifelong wellbeing habits, builds educator resilience and empowers families to support wellbeing at home.
Our Vision: Building Stairways to the Future
Our three Key Values are: Respect, Responsibility and Integrity
The Three Key Values of Respect, Responsibility and Integrity form the basis of our behaviour program.
Behaviour expectation statements for different locations and activities are listed for each of the Three Key Values.
These expectations are taught explicitly as part of the class teaching and learning program.
At LHPS we believe: Strong staff morale, combined with a diversity of expertise, facilitates quality student outcomes.
Staff: ● Have a strong commitment and belief in the value of public education ● Value the intrinsic satisfaction gained from all areas of work ● Communicate with and value the support of the community ● Work to provide a safe and happy school environment; and ● Enable students to reach their full potential
Students value each other’s right to learn and demonstrate positive citizenship.
Students: ● Demonstrate respect for themselves, others and the environment ● Work cooperatively ● Develop positive behaviour and relationships ● Promote the rights and responsibilities of others ● Value a sense of belonging ● Display enthusiasm ● Learn to recognise and accept diversity and recognise and celebrate success
Teaching and learning is a cyclic process incorporating diverse and innovative learning experiences to meet the learning needs of all students.
● Emphasis on quality participation to achieve quality outcomes ● Encouragement to strive for excellence ● Encouragement of each child, instilling values and a love of lifelong learning ● Opportunities to enrich student learning through the many innovative programs; and ● Provision of a positive supportive learning culture
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:

- 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

- developing health care plans for students
- open communication about wellbeing and support.
