Wellbeing

At Batemans Bay Public we are committed to establishing and maintaining open communication with parents and carers. Our focus is to begin with the ‘end in mind’ and work to developing a confident, empowered and resilient learner who leaves our school in Year 6 ready for the next steps in their life.

Student and Family Wellbeing

The wellbeing of students and their families is very important to our school. Our school employs an Assistant Principal of Learning Support and Wellbeing, a full time Family Support Worker (located in the HIVE) and a School Counsellor. They are supported by a huge team of support staff. The role of the counsellor includes supporting the school and family to identify and assess students with additional support needs. Our counsellor and wellbeing team is able to give advice and guidance to families who need additional support on a range of issues and may also connect families to additional services when required. Our school is highly respected for the strong support and commitment it shows to develop the ‘whole’ child and its connection to families.

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.
