Friendly Schools & RISE

Friendly Schools is an evidence-based, whole-school initiative that promotes social and emotional wellbeing while addressing bullying prevention. Aligned with Cronulla High School’s Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) framework, RISE — which stands for Respect, Integrity, Safety and Effort — the program reinforces positive student behaviour across all areas of learning.

This comprehensive approach supports the development of students’ social and emotional skills, contributing to a reduction in issues such as anxiety, depression, loneliness, stress, bullying and socially aggressive behaviours. By fostering a respectful and inclusive school environment, the program plays a vital role in enhancing student wellbeing and engagement.
