Wellbeing

Wellbeing and learning go hand in hand. When your child feels connected to their family, peers and teachers they feel secure in the knowledge that they will be supported throughout their learning journey. Safe and trusting relationships create a positive learning environment where wellbeing can flourish.

At Anglesea Primary School the wellbeing of our community is of the highest priority. We are committed to providing the tools and environment to enable each member of our community to flourish. To do this, we draw on the High Impact Wellbeing Strategies as a framework for building a culture of best practice teaching and learning.
