Wellbeing update
by Ms Gemma Anderson, Student Wellbeing Leader (Acting)
Welcome to the team
This term, the Wellbeing team has welcomed social work students from the University of Melbourne. They will be with us for the remainder of the year, helping us to promote positive wellbeing at Box Hill High School. They will work with the Wellbeing team to organise events and support students in the wellbeing hub.

EAL Buddy Program
The Wellbeing and EAL Student Support Team have organised an EAL buddy program to support our new students from cultural and language diverse backgrounds. Our mentors have worked with staff to develop the program, highlighting key information about student life at Box Hill High School to assist the the new students to connect with the school community.
Our first session provided all mentors and mentees a chance to get to know each other to form pairings based on common experiences and interests. We hope the new students feel supported and welcomed into the Box Hill High School Community. We look forward to working closely with all students to support them during their transition to school.
