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.

Villawood East Public School uses The PAX Good Behaviour Game (PAX GBG), to promote positive behaviour and create consistent supportive learning environments in every classroom across the school.
PAX means peace, productivity, health and happiness, and is what the PAX Good Behaviour Game helps create and strengthen in each classroom.
- Peace - Reduce stress and anxiety while improving climate.
- Productivity - Increase intentional time, focus and performance on tasks.
- Health - Reduce substance misuse, mental illness and legal involvement.
- Happiness - Promote relationships with peers, adults and others within the community.
