Student Wellbeing

From the Co-ordinator of Counselling and Student Health
In today's world, many young people are exploring who they are - not just in terms of career aspirations or friendships, but also how they understand themselves, including their gender identity. For some, this journey is straightforward. For others, it can involve questioning, rethinking, or expressing gender in ways that may not align with traditional expectations.
To assist parents/guardians, SchoolTV has published information on gender diversity. Information contained is centred around understanding, respectful communication, and using the right language. It provides practical guidance to help families support their child in a way that fosters inclusion and wellbeing. Research consistently demonstrates that when young people feel accepted and supported, they have significantly better mental health outcomes, regardless of where they are in their gender journey.
