Wellbeing

At our school, student wellbeing and learning go hand in hand. We want every student to feel safe, included and ready to learn. Whether your child needs help with their mental, emotional, social or physical wellbeing, we are here to help them thrive at school and in daily life.

How we support student wellbeing

Supporting each student’s mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing is part of everyday school life.

We do this through:

• teachers who help students feel welcome and included
• access to school counsellors, school psychologists and specialist staff
• programs that support health, social skills, attendance and positive behaviour
• help for students who are new or changing year levels
• clear expectations for behaviour and respectful relationships
• staff who get to know each child and work closely with families
• developing health care plans for students
• open communication about wellbeing and support.

We encourage students to reach out if needing support or advocacy and to speak to us wherever possible as things pop up, and hopefully before issues become hard to cope with or manage. Students have many advocates and supportive personnel at the College to seek out for assistance: Year Advisers, Deputy Principal, Head Teacher, Student Support Officer (Social Worker), the College Chaplain, any friendly Teacher or Head Teacher - all these are a great starting point to support you in seeing or creating solutions or getting the support you need when things can't be resolved straight away.
