Wellbeing

Dear Families,

At Balambalam Primary School, we believe that strong communities are built on kindness, connection, and supporting one another. As a new school, we are committed to creating a welcoming environment where every child and family feels valued, respected, and supported.

To help support our community, this week we established our Community Pantry to provide access to a range of everyday food items.  Through our partnership with Foodbank Victoria, we are able to offer pantry items and our weekly breakfast club. 

With the rising cost of living continuing to impact many families across Victoria, we recognise that financial pressures can affect anyone at different times. 

Our Community Pantry will operate each Friday morning and afternoon, providing a respectful way for families to access additional support when needed. We understand that reaching out for assistance is not always easy, and we want our families to know that support is available without judgement and with genuine care.

As we continue to build our Balambalam Primary School community, we are committed to fostering a culture of kindness, compassion, and belonging.  Together, we can create a strong and caring community where everyone feels supported and connected.

If your family is experiencing financial pressures due to the rising cost of living, support is available. Our school can assist families to connect with local food relief services, community pantries, Foodbank partners, and emergency assistance programs. 

Please contact our wellbeing team or the school office confidentially, if you would like further information.

Warm regards,

Tiffany Bamford 

Assistant Principal - Inclusion
