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 team

Engadine High School believes in supporting students to learn in a safe, nurturing environment so that they can achieve the best possible outcomes. This is a key target of the Wellbeing Team. The Wellbeing Team is a committed group who understand that each student brings a different set of experiences, knowledge and skills to school with them, and understanding these are essential to planning the learning needs of students and their wellbeing. They fully understand the interrelationship between school and home, and how they may impact on each other.

The team consists of the Head Teacher Wellbeing, Year Advisors, Assistant Year Advisors, School psychologists, School Counsellors, Student Support Officer, Wellbeing nurse,  Careers Advisor, Learning Support staff and three Deputy Principals. The team works closely in partnership with staff, parents, caregivers and outside school services in order to foster student resilience. In daily interactions with students and through individual and whole-school programs, students are taught to be compassionate, self-aware, to be accountable for their choices, and to make sense of their world.

The school works in close association with outside agencies to provide additional support to meet student needs. Our primary concern is that all students’ needs are addressed and that school is a fun, happy and healthy environment for our entire student body where every child is known, valued and cared for.
