Like all NSW public schools, we provide safe learning and teaching environments to encourage healthy, happy, successful and productive students.
The department is committed to creating quality learning opportunities for children and young people. These opportunities support wellbeing through positive and respectful relationships and fostering a sense of belonging to the school and community.
We do this through our strong focus on positive relationships and well-developed wellbeing structures and processes, which involve all staff and students. At the centre of our planned approach to wellbeing is our Campus Wellbeing Team, which consists of:
- Head Teachers Wellbeing
- House Leaders
- School Counsellors
- Aboriginal Student Support Officer
- Student Support Officer.
All students have access to this team of people, and a wide range of programs, via the campus’ well-resourced Wellbeing Hub, front office and campus referral pathways.
Every student is known, valued and cared for through the campus’ wellbeing structures as every student is included in one of eight Houses. Through Houses, all students can feel a sense of belonging and gain access to multi-dimensional support, assisting the to connect, succeed and thrive. The role of the House Leader is pivotal to the development of all students and ensuring they embrace our Campus values and Campus motto – Standing Tall. Our school strives for excellence in teaching and learning, safety and connections on many levels and building trust and respect in relationships for students to succeed. This role centres around the Wellbeing Framework for Schools that defines this work and provides the blueprint for success for students.
The Wellbeing Framework for Schools helps schools support the cognitive, physical, social, emotional and spiritual development of students and allows them to connect, succeed and thrive throughout their education.
School Counselling service
School counselling staff are members of the school wellbeing team.
A teacher may recommend the service by referring a student to the school’s learning and support team. As a parent or carer, you may refer your child directly to the school counselling service. Students can also self-refer to the service.
The school counselling service can:
- support students who are worrying about schoolwork, friends, getting in trouble at school or feeling down
- help parents and carers make decisions about your child’s education
- assess a student’s learning and behaviour
- help teachers and students identify and address disabilities that may affect learning
- liaise with other agencies regarding student wellbeing.
School counselling is confidential.
