At Amaroo Primary School, our ‘Pastoral Care’ programs are inclusive of students, staff and the wider school community. Our philosophy that ‘No one is left behind’ provides a foundation for a diverse range of programs and processes to support the social and emotional well being of the entire school community. We have committed extensive human and financial resources to ensuring the needs of all children are met, primarily through our Pastoral Care Deputy and Inclusivity Coordinator. Our school Chaplain and Psychologist also support many children in a large variety of ways. Amaroo Primary School has developed, and continues to refine an extensive and effective whole school behaviour management program, based on the five values of the Curriculum Framework. In addition to a large range of classroom programs, we have been implementing the ‘You Can Do It’ program across our middle primary over the last three years, and have extended this into all Year levels in 2006. This will foster a strong school ethos based on the ‘Foundations to Success’. Many children have worked with the ‘People First’ and other protective behaviour programs. To help ‘bullyproof’ our students the whole school from pre-primary to year 7 are involved in the BUZ (Build Up Zone) program. Last year, Terry O’Connell from ‘Real Justice’ worked with many students and staff which has provided a solid framework to enable our school to effectively adopt ‘Restorative Justice Practices’ . Our school works extremely hard at developing and maintaining strong relationships, support networks and appropriate school experiences to ensure that ‘No one is left behind’.
