Wellbeing
At Tumut Public School, student wellbeing and learning go hand in hand. We want every student to feel safe, included and ready to learn. Whether your child needs help with their mental, emotional, social or physical wellbeing, we are here to help them thrive at school and in daily life.
How we support student wellbeing
Supporting each student’s mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing is part of everyday school life.
We do this through:
- teachers who help students feel welcome and included
- access to school counsellors, school psychologists and specialist staff
- programs that support health, social skills, attendance and positive behaviour
- help for students who are new or changing year levels
- clear expectations for behaviour and respectful relationships
- staff who get to know each child and work closely with families
- developing health care plans for students
- open communication about wellbeing and support.

A restorative approach
A Tumut Public School, we embed a restorative approach to student behaviour, empathy and relationships. A restorative approach focuses on building, maintaining and restoring positive relationships, particularly when incidents that involve interpersonal conflict or wrongdoing occur.
Restorative practice is a whole school teaching and learning approach that encourages behaviour that is supportive and respectful. It recognises that a variety of factors influence behaviour and seeks to address the underlying influences through empathy, relationship-building, communication, social and emotional learning and finding ways to respectfully hold one another accountable.
Our student engagement plan outlines how we follow the restorative continuum to elevate student behaviour, empathy and relationships.
External Partnerships
Our school is committed to supporting the health and wellbeing of our students through a range of external partnerships with allied health professionals.
Free Pediatric Eye Assessments
Little Lenses offers comprehensive paediatric eye assessments onsite, ensuring children have access to vision screenings and follow-up care where necessary, supporting their learning and development.
Free Dental Check-ups
Through our collaboration with Oral on the Go Dentist, students are provided with free dental checks and oral health advice, helping to promote healthy habits and early detection of dental issues.
Telehealth Pediatrician Options
Additionally, our partnership with Telecare paediatricians enables families to access expert paediatric advice, assessment, and referral services remotely, making specialist care more accessible and convenient. Our school can provide the technology and space for you to access these appointments.
