Student wellbeing
Like all NSW public schools, we provide safe learning and teaching environments to encourage healthy, happy, successful and productive students.
The department is committed to creating quality learning opportunities for children and young people. These opportunities support wellbeing through positive and respectful relationships and fostering a sense of belonging to the school and community.
The Wellbeing Framework for Schools helps schools support the cognitive, physical, social, emotional and spiritual development of students and allows them to connect, succeed and thrive throughout their education.
Positive Behaviour for Learning
At our school, we use Positive Behaviour for Learning – a whole-school approach for creating a positive, safe and supportive school climate where students can learn and develop. Our whole school community works together to establish expected behaviours and teach them to all students.
Students who are Safe, Positive Learners are learning skills to help them through their lives. At Telarah Public School, we recognise this outstanding achievement by presenting them with a PBL badge. We also use the Zones of Regulation across our whole school to support student's wellbeing and development of special and emotional regulation skills and strategies.
Red Zone - used to describe heightened states of alertness and intense emotions. A person may be experiencing anger, rage, explosive behaviour, devastation, or terror when in the Red Zone.
Yellow Zone - used to describe a heightened state of alertness and elevated emotions, however, one has some control when they are in the Yellow Zone. A person may be experiencing stress, frustration, anxiety, excitement, silliness, the wiggles, or nervousness when in the Yellow Zone.
Green Zone - used to describe a calm state of altertness. A person may be described as happy, focused, content or ready to learn when in the Green Zone. This is the zone where optimal learning occurs.
Blue Zone - used to describe low states of alertness and down feelings, such as when one feels sad, tired, sick or bored.
Breakfast Club
At Telarah Public School we understand the importance of starting the day off right. We offer our students a Breakfast Club to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to have fuel in their bodies to help tackle the day of learning ahead.
Breakfast Club operates Monday - Friday in the school kitchen from 8.40am, offering cereal and toast for any student.
