UNIVERSAL WELLBEING PRACTICES

We have a suite of resources that support our School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) framework and therefore our wellbeing practices.

These include:

  • the poster to the right is visible across the school and in all classroom spaces as part of our commitment to child safety.

  • all children having a Trust Hand where they each identify 3 -5 adults they trust at Emmaus for times when they experience a big feeling and are unsure what to do with it.

  • all classroom has carefully designed Chill Out Zones where children can regulate and / or co-regulate when they may be feeling out of balance.

  • our Emmaus Expected Behaviours that are accompanied with a matrix of key observable behaviours that are taught explicitly from Foundation to Year 6.

  • our Emmaus Positive Behaviour Pathway that is used to support children when an unexpected behaviour occurs.

  • our Buddy Program (Yr 6 & Foundation students)

  • our Peer Mediator Program where Yr 4 students are trained to support low level conflict in the yard.

  • Gobata (meaning ‘to take care’ in Wadawurrung language) - a purpose designed regulation space accessible for all students

Emmaus Catholic Primary School acknowledges that the land on which our beautiful school sits is the country of the Wadawurrung people. 

We pay respect to their elders past and present. We acknowledge the memories of their ancestors and celebrate their continuing culture.
