Student Wellbeing

Happy Holidays

Wishing all our students, families and staff a restful and enjoyable break! We look forward to working with everyone for another busy Term 3. 

Introducing Jacinta, our Secondary School Nurse.

Some students will know Jacinta as one of the organisers of the Buloke Youth Health Expo. However, the Secondary School Nurse program is much more than organising a biennial event or fixing scraped knees and supplying icepacks. 

School nurses can help you in many ways, from being a kind person listening, to helping with navigating the healthcare system, finding funding for care, goal setting and problem solving, supporting teachers in the classroom, supporting school admin with developing health support plans and policies, working with staff around ideal lunchboxes and food at school, and coordinating health and wellbeing focussed events at school. 

The Secondary School Nurse is employed by the Department of Education and is in your school to support student health and wellbeing and promote better health in the wider community.

The Secondary School Nursing is available to all secondary students, and you don’t need a referral.  So, call in to the Wellbeing room, or see the brochure in the front office, for more information about the Secondary School Nurse and to organise a chat. 

Wellbeing supports during the school holidays

As we all look forward to a well-deserved and much needed break during the school holidays, it can be a difficult time for many when our routine changes and some supports put on hold over the break. Attached to the newsletter is a flyer sharing with students and families Wellbeing supports that you can access over the break.
