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.

Confidentiality

School counselling is a confidential service and school counsellors will check with students, parents or carers before passing on information (such as the results of tests of learning difficulties) to others. This presumption of confidentiality can be overridden only by special legal requirements (eg. child protection legislation) or where someone may suffer serious harm if information is withheld.

Need support for your child's wellbeing?

Parents who wish to meet with a school counsellor should telephone or email the school to make an appointment.
Students will be told of the arrangements applying in their school as to how they can see the school counsellor.
Priorities for the school counsellor’s time will be determined by the school counsellor, or by consultation with the school counsellor and the Principal.
