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.

If you’re going through some challenging times, feeling stressed, suffering from anxiety or depression, or have some relationship problems and these feelings have started to affect what you would normally enjoy or do, then it's important to find out more and to seek support to get your life back on track.
Our Wellbeing A-Z has links to trusted organisations with fact sheets, Apps, Help lines and online services that can assist you in overcoming some of the challenges you may be facing, enabling you to take some control of your life. However, it is important for you to seek support from a trusted adult, including a member of the school’s wellbeing team.
It’s normal for adolescents to experience changes and challenges as they figure out who they are, what they stand for, and what they want out of life. Part of helping your teenager to develop into an independent adult is by respecting their choices – providing support and guidance, but also providing space for them to work things out for themselves.
If your teenager is going through some challenging times; feeling stressed; suffering from anxiety or depression; or has some relationship problems, and this has started to affect what they normally enjoy or do, then it's important to seek support.
Our Wellbeing A-Z has links to trusted organisations with fact sheets, Apps, Helplines and online services that can assist you in supporting your teenager as they face overwhelming challenges. You can also seek advice and support from your local G.P and consult with the school’s wellbeing team.
The important part of helping a family member or a friend, is to understand that you are there to offer support, but it is up to them to decide how they are going to get it. If your friend doesn't want help, then be patient, checking in with them lets them know you care and are willing to have the conversation when they are ready. Now and then, remind your family member or friend of their options, but try not to pressure them.
If you are worried about their safety or that they are going to hurt themselves somehow, you MUST let a trusted adult know, as soon as possible.
