Wellbeing

• Students can self-refer to the Wellbeing Team by visiting the Wellbeing Space in Orange Building Staff Room 2.
• Principals, teachers and support staff can arrange for a referral to the Wellbeing Team if they have concerns about a student’s wellbeing.
• Parents can also request an appointment for their child with the Wellbeing Team by contacting the team via phone or email.
• In some instances, a student may be referred to an external support service. We also respect the fact that some students and parents may prefer to seek professional support independent from the school setting. In such cases, the Wellbeing Team values working collaboratively with external services. In all cases, we encourage parents to communicate with the school if there is a significant issue affecting their child’s health or wellbeing.

Wellbeing Partnerships

The college embeds a team around the learner approach to best support our students, and to achieve this, the Wellbeing Team works in partnership with a number of youth specific community clinicians:

• Foundation House Clinicians
• CMY clinicians
• Student Support Service Officers (SSSO): Student support services comprise a broad range of professionals including psychologists, speech pathologists and social workers. They work as part of an integrated health and wellbeing team within networks of schools, focusing on providing group-based and individual support, workforce capacity building and the provision of specialised services.

Should you require support from these clinicians, you are more than welcome to contact a member of the Wellbeing Team to help organise this support.
