Wellbeing
Creating a Safe, Inclusive and Caring School Community
Student wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at Gladesville Primary School. We believe that children learn best when they feel safe, connected, respected and supported. Our whole-school approach to wellbeing creates calm, orderly classrooms where every student can thrive.
Staff, students and families work together to ensure everyone feels safe, supported and included at our school. Our exemplary 2026 Attitude to School Survey results show our students feel very positive about their school, their learning, peer relationships, resilience, bullying, health and wellbeing, physical activity, and life in general.
At Gladesville, we provide a safe, nurturing, and vibrant learning community that accommodates the uniqueness of each and every student. We provide a learning environment and curriculum that challenges students to be their best, and that develops the knowledge, skills and spirit to be successful global citizens.
Consistent values, routines and expectations underpin teaching and learning and guide our interactions and relationships. The GPS community has a consistent and positive approach to behaviour and we work hard to ensure a school climate where independence, resilience, personal responsibility and self-discipline are grown.
In addition to our teaching and support staff, we have a highly knowledgeable Mental Health and Wellbeing Leader, two dedicated wellbeing officers and exceptional student leaders, working together to ensure our school is safe, supportive and fun.
