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.

The Department of Education rejects all forms of racism. No student, employee, parent, caregiver or community member should experience racism within the school environment.

We strive to ensure that our school is a safe and supportive environment for all students, staff and families. Our commitment to anti-racism education is underpinned by our school values of Community, Kindness, Growth, Joy and Curiosity.

Under the Anti-Racism Policy, all schools have an Anti-Racism Contact Officer (ARCO). Our ARCO is Mrs Jacki Northam.

You can find the policy here.

Our ARCO plays an important role in assisting the principal to lead anti-racism education. The ARCO supports the principal to:

• promote anti-racism education
• resolve reports of racist behaviour by students
• collect data about reports of racism and monitor its prevalence.

Reports of racism can be made to any member of staff in person, by email or phone, and also online by using the department’s feedback and complaint form.

If you need an interpreter to help speak to the school or to make an appointment with a staff member, please ring the Telephone Interpreter Service on 131 450 and ask for an interpreter in your language.

You can also find out more information about anti-racism education within the Department here.

At our school, the actions we take to prevent racism are:

• implement educational practices that reflect high expectations for students of all cultural, linguistic and religious backgrounds
• provide resources and supports that are equitable and inclusive of the needs of students and staff from culturally, linguistically and religiously diverse backgrounds
• implement strategies to increase the knowledge and understanding of all students and staff of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, histories, cultures, and experiences
• develop and implement culturally safe, inclusive and responsive programs to ensure students learn in a supportive environment free from prejudice and discrimination
• collaboratively develop and implement whole-school anti-racism strategies to eliminate racism.
• engage in respectful conversations about race and racism
• maintain culturally inclusive and responsive practices and culturally safe workplaces

Thank you for assisting us to maintain a positive school environment in which all forms of racism are rejected.
