Wellbeing & Inclusion

We are a welcoming and inclusive community, thankful for the rich diversity of beliefs, cultures, abilities, identities and families that make up our school.

We value and appreciate the contributions that everyone makes to Eltham Primary School and commit to being inclusive and fair-minded every day.

The implementation of School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) framework across the school supports the provision of a safe and supportive learning environment. A learning environment that is characterised by high expectations for student learning of which the school community is fully aware of through the establishment of open communication. Our aim is to increase parent engagement through greater involvement in classroom curriculum support, excursions and parent learning programs through the establishment of (SWPBS) systems that manage incidents via increasingly clear and well-understood processes. This in turn promotes better community engagement. We endeavour to maintain strong relationships with the Student Support Services network and all relevant support agencies.

Eltham Primary School works with the Dogs Connect program to support our students and staff with wellbeing dogs. A wellbeing dog has positive emotional and social impacts and supports mental health and wellbeing. The program helps create an ongoing connection between a school, community and their wellbeing dog or dogs.

Our school has two dogs, Bluey and Rosie, regularly within the school.
