Student Wellbeing

Schools play an important role in promoting the emotional and social development and wellbeing of the students in their care.

At Reservoir Primary School, our learning community student supports wellbeing, safety and positive relationships so that students can reach their full potential.
We understand that positive student wellbeing and mental health are essential for both academic and social development, and to foster this we offer a safe, supportive and inclusive learning environment. We use the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support model to plan for student needs. Our Tier 1 learning programs, routines and clear expectations create a backbone for support, and our learning environment provides a safe and happy place for children to grow.
Our approach is underpinned by our Respectful Relationships program and RRRR curriculum. As part of our whole school approach we pledge:
Reservoir Primary School is committed  to creating a  respectful, inclusive, environment where  all cultures,  genders & backgrounds are celebrated. Our school is a place where everyone feels safe, valued and empowered to be their best self.
Our Tier 2 and 3 support is provided through clear processes and considerations to ensure no child is left behind. We work with external agencies, Department Disability Inclusion and families to understand and cater for student’s needs. Our students are known, valued and supported.

At Reservoir Primary School, all brains are celebrated, and all abilities valued.
