Karingal Primary School places well-being at the forefront of student learning. Student social and emotional well-being and physical health are highly valued at the school.

The school begins the year with an ‘Aspiring to RIPRRness' program which sets the scene for a great year of learning complimented by effective transitions and parent interactions. The school’s RIPRR values are also integrated into the ‘Aspiring to RIPRRness' at the beginning of the year and are embedded and reinforced each and every day throughout the year.

The Zones of Regulation are utilised in the classroom environment to help support student well-being, whilst Restorative Practices are reinforced when required.

The school offers the support of a Primary Welfare Officer; student voice opportunities through leadership programs and activities and a Breakfast program run by volunteers.

A variety of lunchtime programs relieve the stress on the yard and offer great social learning opportunities for students and provide an alternative space for students who find lunchtime too long.

Modified transition programs are in place (when required) for students moving from pre-school to Foundation, across the year levels, and from Grade 6 to secondary school.

The school works closely with the local preschool and secondary schools to support students in making smooth and successful transitions with the student’s social, emotional, and academic needs being catered for.
