Supporting student wellbeing

At Caroline Chisholm School, we recognise that student wellbeing is foundational to academic engagement and success. Our strategic focus is to create and maintain a safe, inclusive, and supportive school environment where every student feels connected and ready to learn.

Through targeted support and whole-school approaches, we aim to enhance the mental, emotional, social, and physical wellbeing of all students. By addressing individual needs and promoting resilience and belonging, we empower students to thrive both within the school setting and beyond.

How we support student wellbeing

Supporting each student’s mental, emotional, social, and physical wellbeing is embedded in our everyday school practice and culture. Our commitment to a whole-school approach to health and wellbeing ensures students are known, supported, and equipped to thrive academically and personally.

We achieve this through:

• Inclusive classroom practices where teachers foster a sense of belonging, safety, and respect
• Access to multidisciplinary wellbeing staff, including school counsellors, psychologists, and other specialist professionals
• Proactive programs that promote health, social-emotional learning, regular attendance, and positive behaviour
• Structured transition support for students who are new to the school or moving between year levels
• Clear and consistent expectations around behaviour and respectful relationships
• Strong partnerships with families, with staff actively working to understand and support each child’s individual needs
• Individualised health and wellbeing support, including development of health care plans and student support plans when required
• Open communication channels between students, staff, and families to promote timely and transparent support
