 Strategic Goal               Wellbeing / Hauora

 Annual Target                1. To increase the number of students feeling safe at school always or most of the time by 10%

 Background                   Ensuring students feel safe at school is a priority at Trentham School. We want to strengthen the wellbeing of our students so
                              they are happy and successful at school.
                              In 2019 Year 3-6 students were asked to complete a survey online regarding safety at school. 226 students completed the
                              survey. They were asked to rate how much they agreed with 9 statements about safety at school. If they did not feel safe at
                              school they were asked to tell us why and give suggestions on what we could do to make them feel safer at school.
                               ● 87% of students feel safe at school always or most of the time
                               ● 88% of students feel safe at breaks, an increase of 6%
                               ● 86% of students feel safe before and after school always or most of the time
                               ● 73% of students always or most of the time feel comfortable talking to their teacher about problems

 Planned Actions to Achieve Targets

  1.    Individual Behaviour Plans established for students with high behaviour needs.
  2.    Teacher Aides utilised for specific students requiring support during breaks.
  3.    Review of Student Behaviour Management Plan and establishment of a wellbeing plan.
  4.    Support from external agencies sought when necessary.
  5.    Students informed that all gates except one are locked during the school day so people are less likely to wander through the school. Also reminded to
        tell a duty teacher if they see something they don’t like outside of the school grounds.
  6.    Teachers to continue to develop positive relationships with students and to follow up on ​all​ student concerns to ensure that children feel heard and
        that issues have been dealt with. Educate students on what bullying is and how it is different to children being mean.
  7.    Teachers to remind students what they need to do if they have an issue with another student or they don’t feel safe.
  8.    Teachers to carry out emergency drills in a way that doesn’t frighten students. These need to be regular in the classroom alongside school wide drills.
  9.    Regular reminders to be sent home about signing in at the office and not to wander through the playground, particularly during break times.
  10.   Duty teachers to be visible in the playgrounds by wearing supplied fluro vests.

 Background                   Over 2018-2019 the professional learning focus was on the effective use of acceleration strategies in the area of mathematics.
                              These strategies now need to be embedded into practice and transferred into other learning areas.
                              2019 end of year data shows:
                               ● 18% of Year 2 students (2020 Year 3) are achieving below the expected curriculum level for reading.
                               ● 39% of Year 3 students (2020 Year 4) are achieving below or well below the expected level for mathematics.
                               ● 57% of Year 4 Maori students (2020 year 5) are achieving below or well below the expected level for writing.
                               ● 59% of Year 5 students (2020 Year 6) are achieving below or well below the expected level for writing.
