To help students and families understand the ways in which the College can best create a happy school, we have a Student Engagement & Wellbeing Policy that is based on the following ideals:
-
Students have the right to work and learn in a safe place, where they can develop their talents, interests and ambitions.
-
Teachers will be able to teach in an ordered and cooperative setting
-
Parents can expect their children to be taught in a caring environment where respect and positive relationships are fostered
-
Everyone will respect and take care of the College property and the property of others
At Pakenham Secondary College, we believe social and emotional wellbeing provides the best basis for student learning and positive behaviour.
