First Aid and Wellbeing

At Toorak Primary School we are committed to supporting your child with their health and medical needs. Scarlett Beaton is our First Aid Staff member, Sara Harris our Wellbeing & Welfare Officer and Jo Gimas our Speech Pathologist. 

Our wellbeing approach is to look at ways we can be proactive in implementing programs to support the children with their overall wellbeing as well as targeted areas of concern. Engaging outside programs as well as running small wellbeing groups, with a focus on friendships, body awareness, social skills and emotional regulation have proven to be a great support. 

We understand that the wellbeing of the entire community is key to children's sense of safety and wellbeing and their ability to thrive, so we are always seeking to engage families and staff in opportunities that offer growth and awareness of children's wellbeing as well as their own. Parenting programs, presentations and guest speakers are examples of ways we offer wellbeing support to our school community.
