Student Wellbeing
Lunchtime Clubs
The Wellbeing team are excited to be launching two new lunchtime clubs in Week 1 next term - The Library Legends and The Sports Superstars! These clubs have been designed to provide students with additional opportunities to connect, build friendships and feel a strong sense of belonging within our school community.
The Library Legends will offer a calm and inclusive space for students who enjoy reading, engage in a book swap and other quieter activities, while The Sports Superstars will focus on teamwork, active play and positive sportsmanship out on the playground.
We look forward to seeing students get involved and can’t wait to watch these clubs grow as they provide fun, inclusive spaces for all interests and abilities.
Supporting Student Mental Health and Wellbeing:
Our school is proud to be part of the Victorian Government’s Mental Health in Primary Schools (MHiPS) initiative. This program represents an investment in supporting the mental health and wellbeing of all primary school students across Victoria.
As part of this program, schools are able to employ a Mental Health and Wellbeing Leader who supports a whole-school approach to student wellbeing. This role complements our existing wellbeing structures and focuses on building staff capacity to:
Identify mental health concerns early
Support early identification of wellbeing concerns and work with families to connect students with appropriate support when needed.
Implement effective mental health strategies within the classroom
The program is based on research and partnerships with leading organisations, including the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and the University of Melbourne. It ensures that mental health promotion, prevention and early intervention are embedded into everyday school practice.
Well-developed mental health literacy within a school community helps ensure that children feel safe, supported and able to thrive - both academically and socially.
As part of this work, we are inviting parents and carers to complete a short survey about student wellbeing. The survey will help us better understand how families view their child’s wellbeing at school and identify the things that help children feel safe, calm and supported in our community.
Your feedback will help guide future wellbeing initiatives and ensure we continue to strengthen the support we provide for all students.
We greatly appreciate your time and input as we work together to support the wellbeing of every child in our school community. The survey is short and should only take a few minutes to complete. If possible, we ask that you complete one survey for each child, as every child is unique and their wellbeing needs and experiences at school may differ.
