Wyndham Early Learning is committed to improving the health, wellness, and wellbeing of the children, young people, families and staff within our learning community. We are committed to ensuring every member of our learning community feels a sense of belonging and connectedness.
We acknowledge that all people experience varying states of health, wellness, and wellbeing, and have differing past and current experiences.
We are committed to reducing stigma and discrimination around health, wellness, and wellbeing, and promote inclusion, healthy relationships and resilience. Through modelling positive behaviours, attitudes and practices, the leadership team is committed to championing and promoting health, wellness, and wellbeing knowledge in our practices, policies, planning and decision-making.
We will empower our community to express their feelings, support one another and seek help. We will respond mindfully and within its professional boundaries, considering appropriate referrals for care to support children and young people with all health, wellness, and wellbeing needs.
We acknowledge and promote the importance of self-care to all community members and support people experiencing issues by encouraging them to talk openly and seek help.
We are committed to continuous and sustainable improvement, which we will demonstrate through planning, action and review of our progress.
We acknowledge this is a collective responsibility and are committed to building the capacity of all staff to support our children, young people, and wider community to achieve their best possible health, wellness, and wellbeing.
This commitment is based on:
- Understanding protective and risk factors that affect our learning community, which are diverse across developmental stages and population groups
- Creating and maintaining authentic partnerships with families and community services so we can work collaboratively to support our learning community
- Using appropriate learning strategies that support health, wellness, wellbeing and resilience
- Ensuring everyone in our learning community has the knowledge, experience and structures in place to support those who require it
- Always maintaining a focus on positivity, even during difficult times
