Learning and wellbeing should not be viewed in isolates, both need to be valued as equal components to achieve positive outcomes for students. Students are more likely to learn effectively when classrooms feel safe, predictable, and supportive. Positive relationships developed within schools can strengthen students’ sense of connection and belonging, encouraging them to engage more effectively in their learning (Berry street, n.d.).The Berry street Education Model promotes a trauma – informed approach that recognise how trauma and feeling unsafe can significantly affect students’ behaviour, emotional regulation, engagement and academic outcomes. The model supports a whole school approach that places students’ wellbeing alongside teaching and learning (Berry street, n.d.).
