Wellbeing and support

At our college, student wellbeing and learning support go hand in hand. We want every child to feel safe, included and ready to learn.

We are an inclusive college that values diversity. We support all students, including those with disability or additional needs, to take part in every part of college life. This can include adjustments to learning, counselling, behaviour support or extra help in the classroom.

Whether your child needs assistance with their learning or their mental, emotional or social health, we are here to help them thrive at college and in daily life.

How we support student wellbeing

Supporting each student’s mental, emotional and social wellbeing is part of everyday college life.

We do this through:

• teachers who help students feel welcome and included
• access to college counsellors and other specialist staff
• programs that support physical health, mental health, social skills and positive behaviour
• help for students who are new or changing year levels
• clear expectations for behaviour and respectful relationships
• staff who get to know each child and work closely with families
• open communication with families about wellbeing and support.

Support that fits your child’s needs

Some students need extra support to feel confident and do their best at college. We work closely with families to make a plan that suits each child’s needs.

These support plans can include:

• teachers and support staff working together with families (and students, if needed)
• regular check-ins to review and update the plan
• accessible classrooms, assistive technology, or changes to learning activities for students with additional needs.

We know when a student needs help when:

• teachers notice changes in learning or behaviour
• reviewing assessment results and learning progress
• parents and carers raise concerns or ask for support.

If you think your child may need extra help, speak with their teacher or contact our college office.
