Wellbeing
At our school, student wellbeing and learning go hand in hand. We want every student to feel safe, included and ready to learn. Whether your child needs help with their mental, emotional, social or physical wellbeing, we are here to help them thrive at school and in daily life.
How we support student wellbeing
Supporting each student’s mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing is part of everyday school life.
We do this through:
- teachers who help students feel welcome and included
- access to school counsellors, school psychologists and specialist staff
- programs that support health, social skills, attendance 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
- developing health care plans for students
- open communication about wellbeing and support.

Meet Elle our Story Dog
The Story Dog program is a reading support initiative where trained volunteer handlers bring their dogs to school to sit with students as they read aloud. The presence of the friendly, non-judgemental dog helps create a relaxed, encouraging environment that boosts students' confidence and motivation to read. By participating in Story Dog sessions, students can improve their literacy skills, build positive relationships, and develop a love of reading in a supportive setting.
Peer Support
The Peer Support program is designed to foster positive connections and build a supportive school community. Older students are trained to mentor and assist younger students, helping them develop social skills, confidence, and resilience. Through regular sessions and activities, peers work together to solve problems, encourage teamwork, and create an inclusive environment where every student feels valued and supported.
Additional Learning Support
Some students need extra support to feel confident and achieve their best at school. We collaborate closely with families to develop personalised support plans and make adjustments that meet each child’s unique needs.
