This week, staff from the 20 schools receiving additional support under the Action Plan came together for focused training on early support, planning, prevention and response practices, as well as building safe, consistent approaches to managing complex student behaviour.
The training was attended by a mix of principals and professional support staff, such as school psychologists, social workers and speech pathologists.
Minister for Education, Jo Palmer, said there is no place for violent or threatening behaviour in our schools.
"Our Liberal Government is taking action and delivering this support for our schools," Minister Palmer said.
"We have listened to our education workforce, and their feedback has directly shaped this work.
"This is an important opportunity for staff to come together, share experiences, and work collectively on strategies and initiatives that support wellbeing and learning across classrooms.
Participating schools will work side by side to:
- strengthen approaches that promote positive behaviours and help prevent unsafe situations;
- respond clearly and consistently if incidents occur; and
- support staff and students if they are affected.
