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.

The wellbeing of students is enhanced and their learning outcomes optimised when they feel connected to others, and experience safe and trusting relationships. Students who feel connected, safe, and secure are more likely to be active participants in their learning and to achieve better physical, emotional, social, and educational outcomes.

At GHHS, the Learning, Inclusion, and Wellbeing team oversees student wellbeing. Their role is to:

• support the wellbeing needs of students, focusing on seeking solutions to wellbeing issues, both general and for individual students

• communicate with parents, where applicable, regarding wellbeing issues

• refer wellbeing needs to specialist services or agencies, where appropriate

• coordinate activities and implement programs to support the wellbeing needs of students, aligned to the school’s GRIT values and GROW program.

Our Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS)

Support is provided for students across the care continuum. There are different entry points for each student depending on their level of need. An intervention can begin at prevention or at any other point across the continuum. The care continuum is designed to be used in both directions where it is relevant to the needs of the student or class. Some strategies may span across the continuum.

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.
