Wellbeing @ GEC

wellbeing@gec

Our Wellbeing Centre has been put to good use at the start of 2022. It is great to see students being proactive about their wellbeing. The Wellbeing Centre and Garden provide a safe, calm space in which students can be supported. 

Parents have also been proactive in contacting the team to work with us in support of their child. We welcome the opportunity to work with parents in meeting the needs of their children. Please contact us on 9571 7838 or email glen.eira.co@education.vic.gov.au

​Inclusive education

Inclusive education means that all members of every school community are valued and supported to fully participate, learn, develop and succeed within an inclusive school culture.

Glen Eira College is committed to delivering an inclusive education for all students. This is done in partnership with parents and students. If at any time parents are concerned about their child’s learning progress and participation at school please contact the year level coordinator.

Below are links to Department of Education websites that provide information for parents in support of students with a disability or additional learning needs.
