Wellbeing News

The Wellbeing Team work together to help students. They focus on disadvantaged and vulnerable students, or students who need special care, including mental health support.
Nothing is too big or too small

Our Student Wellbeing Team consists of a Wellbeing Leader, School Counsellor, School Nurse, a School Chaplain and a Mental Health Practitioner/Psychologist.

A key focus of our team is proactive educational programs including resilience building, anti-bullying, stress and anxiety management, peer group support, cyber safety, mental wellbeing and social media awareness. In conjunction with our Health and PE teachers, we also provide education on nutrition, drug and alcohol issues, sexual education and mental health awareness.

Students may see a member of the Wellbeing Team at recess or lunch time to make an appointment. An appointment card will be provided with the date and time of an available appointment.

Green Trolley Initiative

We will be placing a green trolley at the front office and requesting food, grocery and personal hygiene donations from our community who have a surplus or are able to donate. Donations will be available for those who need. The last couple of years have been tough on small communities and we look forward to growing our sense of community within the school.

This will be starting next month, in June.
