Wellbeing

At Wilberforce, student wellbeing and learning go hand in hand. We want every student to feel safe, included, and ready to learn. Beyond supporting mental, emotional, social, and physical wellbeing, we explicitly teach students the dispositions and skills they need to succeed both as learners and as responsible citizens. This includes fostering curiosity, resilience, collaboration, and self-motivation, as well as an understanding of respect, responsibility, and ethical behaviour. By making these expectations clear and supporting students in developing them, we help every child thrive not only in their learning but also in their personal growth and in contributing positively to the school and wider community.

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.
