Wellbeing Hub
The Wellbeing Hub
The wellbeing hub is a welcoming, calming and peaceful space for students to seek refuge in when they need time to self-regulate. It is a safe haven where students are able to seek support from our wellbeing team, access some quiet time or mindful break when feeling overwhelmed by the classroom environment. We can provide tools and strategies needed to be ready for learning.
Our Roles and Services
The Wellbeing team works in partnership with teaching staff to support holistic student wellbeing and to help students to actively engage in learning. Using evidence-based strategies and frameworks, such as the Zones of Regulation, the team enacts a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) to identify and address students’ academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs.
The Wellbeing Team is an interdisciplinary group, including Psychologists, Social Workers, and Youth Workers, bringing a diverse range of skills and expertise to the school community.
The Wellbeing Team provides:
-
Individual counselling and skills-based group programs to support students’ social, emotional, behavioural, and academic development.
-
Referral to external services when ongoing support is required in the community.
-
Student engagement support, including assistance with attendance and school participation.
-
Secondary consultation for staff, working collaboratively with teachers and school staff to ensure student safety and wellbeing.
-
Training and professional development, arranging internal and external sessions for both staff and students.
-
Information and resources for parents, caregivers, and teachers to support student wellbeing.
