Wellbeing Update
Welcome to the 2026 School Year!
Welcome to our new and returning Fyans Park Families! My name is Rick Scade and I am the school’s Wellbeing Coordinator. My role is to work closely with our students, staff, families and the wider school community to support students to do their best each day - just as our school motto encourages us to do.
This may be in an academic sense, a social sense, or through helping students feel safe, supported, and connected. A key focus of my role is building a strong sense of community for our students, ensuring they feel supported both in the classroom and in the yard, and, when needed, helping connect families and students with additional supports and community organisations.
In this section of the newsletter, we provide an update of what is happening in the Wellbeing Space at Fyans Park Primary School. If you have any ideas, comments or questions please do not hesitate to come and see me or contact me via email – Rick.Scade@education.vic.gov.au
Student Wellbeing Leaders 2026
The 2026 Wellbeing Leaders and all Year 6’s have commenced the year well, showing a great deal of consideration towards their peers, particularly the younger students. This year our student Wellbeing Team Leaders are Kitty O, Eloise C & Pippa D. Their current focus is on preparing the Year 6 Peer Mediation Roster and Lunchtime Clubs which both commence next Monday 2nd February, as well as planning for Harmony Week Celebrations (15th-21st March). If you have any ideas in the Wellbeing Space, please see one of our friendly Wellbeing Team Leaders below - Kitty, Eloise or Pippa.
