Student Wellbeing

Sometimes students and families need help to manage things that are happening in their lives. Student wellbeing leaders can help students develop skills and confidence.

Student wellbeing leaders work to optimise student learning. They work in partnership with:

  • students
  • parents and caregivers
  • educators
  • the broader community.

Student wellbeing leaders offer support to:

  • encourage attendance, behaviour and learning at school
  • help manage relationships with family, teachers and peers
  • manage issues.

They also offer:

  • crisis responses
  • advice, support and referral to therapeutic and other support services beyond the school.

Fiona Brown, our Student Wellbeing Leader works with students, families and teachers across the school.  She provides proactive support for students needing assistance with social skills.  

Sarah Mewett, our Pastoral Care Worker is positive role model who delivers compassionate pastoral and practical support throughout the breadth and length of school community life.  She helps:

  • STUDENTS by listening, taking an interest in them, being involved with their daily lives, facilitating activities and seminars and being a positive role model
  • STAFF by being a supporting resource, providing a listening ear, encouragement, friendship and supporting their personal wellbeing
  • FAMILIES by being a person of contact, listening, caring, providing support in times of crisis as well as being a referral to support services

The role of the Pastoral Care Worker is an inclusive role and supports all parts of the school community in many various ways.

Sarah is employed through SMG, who works closely with the SA Department for Education as a Service Provider for the National Schools Chaplaincy Program.

Fiona, Sarah and the student wellbeing action team operate a free breakfast club on Tuesday mornings.  Breakfast club is held in the hall from 8.15-8.45 and is open to all students.  It provides a safe and welcoming place for students to have breakfast and socialise with students from all year levels.
