Wellbeing
At Doncaster Primary School our constant efforts to instil and nurture social and emotional growth are evident through the many programs we offer to support our students. Doncaster Primary believes that the success of a student is not just academic but also encompasses their social and emotional progression. We schedule weekly wellbeing lessons and multiage age year activity groups including the Year 6 Buddies Program and biweekly TRIBES lessons. These sessions encompass a wide range of hands-on learning and exciting opportunities. Sessions are aimed at increasing student resilience, open-mindedness, respect and fostering an inclusive school community. Our school values of determination, pride and success underpin our interactions both inside and outside the classroom.

“I really enjoy TRIBES because I get to meet people from different year levels. We learn teamwork skills, ways to get along with others, and how to be a great friend.”
Aryana, 6J.
“Buddies are great as it helps the Preps communicate, have confidence, and learn from the Year 6 students. In wellbeing lessons we learn about respect, making good choices and how to show resilience.”

“In TRIBES we learn how to care for others and do the right thing at school. We get to do a lot of activities that are fun and interesting.”
Ellie, Prep P.
“When we have TRIBES, we get to do so many different activities! I like seeing the Year 1 and 2 students and can make new friends.”
