Our school community has worked together to establish simple, clear and explicit expectations for behaviour. Student behaviour improves when students know what is expected of them and when good behaviour is recognised. Our students are explicitly taught the behaviours they need for success at school and beyond.
Our school takes a proactive, preventative approach, ensuring that all students receive the appropriate level of support to help them to succeed. Our Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) team constantly works to ensure that all students benefit and identified students receive additional support when needed.

The Resilience Project (TRP)
The Resilience Project (TRP) delivers emotionally engaging programs to schools, sports clubs and businesses, providing practical, evidence-based mental health strategies to build resilience and happiness. The program is used in over 1000 schools and over 500 workplaces and is embedded into the P-12 curriculum at Bentley Park College.
Students engage in weekly activities and discussions around TRP's GEM priorities - Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness, as well as Emotional Literacy, as they are foundational contributors to positive mental health. More information is available on the TRP website External link.
PBL + TRP = Wellbeing
