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.

Sydney Secondary College has common student wellbeing structure across the three campuses. Students, parents and staff have worked together to develop the College's statement of purpose, values, expectations, exit outcomes and behavior management procedures.

As part of this Blackwattle Bay Campus has a number of special events where staff and students engage in collaborative activities to strengthen staff-student relationships. These days include Diversity Day, Splendour@theBay and Wear It Purple Day. These are mandatory school days.

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.

Golden Tickets

Positive Behaviours for Learning (PBL) is embedded into the school's wellbeing structures. Students can gain Golden Tickets for improvements in their attitude and response to learning. Teachers award these cards on a regular basis and students go into a fortnightly draw for rewards.
