WELLBEING
At Creswick Primary School we have a number of wellbeing pathways that provide support to students, staff and families to ensure all students can reach their full potential.
Our Wellbeing Program is underpinned by our School Values, School Wide Positive Behaviour Supports and the teaching of Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships curriculum. With a dedicated Leading Teacher in charge of wellbeing we are able to support all students at their point of need.
Resilience Rights and Respectful Relationships
Respectful Relationships is a primary prevention program that builds social and emotional learning for students across the school. The Respectful Relationships program promotes and models respect, positive attitudes and behaviours. It teaches our children how to build healthy relationships, resilience and confidence.
School Chaplain
Creswick Primary School has a school chaplain on staff who runs small social skills groups, including the BRAVE and Seasons for Growth programs. To access the Chaplaincy program, parents are required to fill out a referral form and return it to school.
Brave Program
While most children settle into school well, for some, heading back to school can be a worrying time. Anxiety is very common, and can cause problems in academic, emotional and social areas. The BRAVE program helps children with anxiety difficulties learn to manage their worries.
Seasons for Growth
Change and loss at any time can be challenging. We recognise that when changes occur in families through separation, divorce, bereavement or through any other life changes such as migration or change of school, children might benefit from learning skills to understand and make sense of these situations.
Breakfast Club
Breakfast club is available to make sure every child is ready to learn at the start of the day.
Wellbeing Concerns
Classroom teaching staff are your first point of contact if you have any concerns about your child's wellbeing. You can contact all staff via Compass email or leave a message via the office. Classroom teachers are best placed to work with you to support your child at school.

BEHAVIOUR EXPECTATIONS
Creswick Primary School has four school-wide behaviour expectations with an overarching
statement to guide behaviour.
At Creswick Primary School, we are in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing.
These expectations clearly outline what behaviour is expected of our students at all times. Our behaviour expectations link closely to our school values of Resilience, Personal Best, Safety and Respect. Our behaviour expectations are how we put our values into actions.
School Wide Positive Behaviour Supports
Bringing our Values and Behaviour Expectations together is our School Wide Positive Behaviour Supports (SWPBS).
SWPBS is a framework that we use to teach our students appropriate behaviours. Just like reading, writing and maths, we know that we need to explicitly teach our behaviour expectations throughout the school and SWPBS is how we do this.
Using our Behaviour Expectation Matrix, teachers teach students from Prep to Year 6 how to operate in all parts of our school, from classrooms to corridors to outside spaces and in the community. The Behaviour Expectation Matrix is used as a teaching tool during our Start-Up program, and throughout the year, as it sets out expectations in a clear manner for all students, staff and families to reference.
Like other curriculum areas, we know students are on a continuum of understanding. We use our explicit understanding of Minor and Major behaviours to help and guide students when they cannot meet our school behaviour expectations.
