Student Wellbeing

Student Well-Being @ Palm View Primary

At Palm View Primary School, student well-being is a whole-school priority, embedded in our culture and daily practices. Guided by our mission to be a “Force for Good,” we empower students with the skills and support to thrive socially, emotionally, and mentally.

Our Peer Support Leaders (PSLs) play a pivotal role in this ecosystem. Through structured training, mentoring, and student-led initiatives, PSLs build inclusive relationships, promote positive peer influence, and support classmates experiencing stress, bullying, or loneliness.

Initiatives like the #SafePlace Mental Wellness Week and Student Well-Being Recess Activities reinforce emotional literacy, coping strategies, and resilience. These programs are co-led by PSLs and supported by staff and parent volunteers, creating safe and supportive environments throughout the school day. Executive Function skills such as self-monitoring and flexible thinking are taught to nurture self-regulation and empathy.

Our approach focuses on proactive care— equipping every child with tools to manage their well-being and look out for others. By fostering peer connections, encouraging help-seeking behaviors, and promoting student voice, Palm View continues to grow a caring, connected, and resilient student community.
