ECN735 Assessment Task 1

Wellbeing Team

In addition to the usual wellbeing needs of adolescents, the school has many students who require considerable additional support, including those who are:

  • recently arrived immigrants and refugees with very low levels of English language skills, due to a scarcity of places in the nearby English language school
  • on temporary protection visas
  • living in out-of-home-care
  • disabled (with and without funding)
  • experiencing mental health issues
  • identifying as LGBTQI+
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students

With such a diverse population of students, the school has a large wellbeing team – including counsellors, allied health practitioners, interpreters, and integration aides.

It also participates in the Doctors in Secondary Schools program.
