The Moil Way in Action

One School ~ One Language ~ One consistent approach. Every Student, Every Day
Foundations

Consistent, Whole School Systems

Every student experiences these two frameworks, every day, in every setting across the school.

Student Wellbeing and Inclusion Programs and Services (SWIPS)

Our whole school framework for teaching and reinforcing behaviour

  • Teach expected behaviours explicitly, the same way in every setting
  • Use one consistent language for expectations across the school
  • Notice and acknowledge the behaviours we want to see
  • Use behaviour data to decide where extra support is needed

You might hear: “Remember, at Moil we are safe, respectful learners.”

Berry Street Education Model

Trauma informed teaching, our foundation for readiness to learn

  • Build safety, predictability and connection in every classroom
  • Regulate first, so students are calm enough to learn
  • Use consistent routines and calm de-escalation
  • Repair relationships after a difficult moment, rather than just moving on
You might hear: “Let’s take a breath together before we start.”
Building Skills

Targeted Programs

These programs build connection and resilience for students who need extra support.

Rock and Water

Body based program building confidence and boundaries

  • Practise grounding, body awareness and self-control
  • Build self-confidence and self-reflection through movement
  • Teach respectful communication and personal boundaries
  • Help students choose their response, standing firm as rock or flexible as water

You might hear: “Do you need to be rock right now, or water?”

Dogs Connect

Wellbeing dogs supporting connection and calm

  • Build trust and connection through time with Louie
  • Give students a calm, low pressure way to feel safe
  • Support students to self-regulate before rejoining the group
  • Offer a gentle entry point for students who find connection hard

You might hear: “Would you like a few minutes with Louie first?”
