At Oakhill Drive, we believe that wellbeing and relationships are at the heart of education. As such, we have implemented a whole-school approach to Positive Education. This means that the principles of personal wellbeing and positive relationships are taught to students, to parents, teaching and non-teaching staff, and also to the wider community. This is reflected in our school vision 'Our students will gain the skills, knowledge and attitudes, that will prepare them to be creative, connected and collaborative lifelong learners. Our students will be encouraged to become healthy, well rounded, global citizens who contribute to the creation of the common good in today’s knowledge based, dynamic, interdependent world.'
Positive education at Oakhill Drive is a journey in which learning is ongoing and school practices and procedures are continually reviewed and adapted to align with this approach. It is not a program, but 'a way of being' that is embedded in all that we do.
Wellbeing- 'A sustainable state of positive mood and attitude, resilience and satisfaction with self, relationships, and experiences at school (Dept Education, Employment & Workplace Relations)
At Oakhill Drive, we focus on the five aspects of Wellbeing which we refer to as SPECS (Social, Physical, Emotional, Cognitive and Spiritual). In order to be considered "well," it is imperative that all aspects are addressed.
