[|Student Welfare] as a platform of support. It underpins all school activities and is responsive to present and future needs: A [|whole school approach] is taken. Building staff as a key to school community's capacity to caring environment.
 * school ethos and environment
 * curriculum, teaching and learning
 * partnerships and services
 * discipline policy

I am not certain, but do curriculum, assessment and other relevant policies include a whole school approach and include four areas to focus on, being: Primary prevention Early intervention Intervention Postvention ? [] I ask because student welfare includes such things as listed above (school ethos and environment; curriculum, teaching and learning; partnerships and services; and discipline policy - though discipline policy is listed separately on the list of policies we need to write), and has a framework for student welfare in public schools. Therefore, if there is a framework for the whole school including these four areas of intervention and included are things like the teaching approach of a school, it makes sense that the government would require other areas of policy written, apart from student welfare, to include a consistent approach across the board so that links can be made between policies and maintain their integrity and comprehensibility. Therefore my question: do other policies include a whole school approach with the four areas of intervention listed?

or not... maybe they just like to make things confusing for us all because they think we get so many holidays...(which we do *smirks*)

some models for practice: []

Parent participation in schools is included in the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 and Education and Training Reform Regulations 2007, which state that parents must make up the majority of school councils. In the Public Administration Act and Victorian privacy laws the bounds of Aim High sub-committees are stated.
