Wellbeing

St. Helena Secondary College prioritises student wellbeing through a comprehensive approach, emphasising care, inclusion, and friendship. Our formal wellbeing program, guided by Positive Psychology principles and implemented through STRIVE, empowers students to identify strengths and navigate challenges, fostering optimism and resilience.

Our multidisciplinary Wellbeing Team provides targeted support and intervention, ensuring every student receives the assistance they need. Comprising professionals like Social Workers and Counsellors, our Wellbeing Team empowers students to meet educational and wellbeing outcomes and can provide comprehensive support. Our Secondary School Nurse facilitates health promotion and health education activities in the school, and can also help students with information, guidance and support through individual health consultations.

Collaborating closely with the Wellbeing Team, Year Level Managers provide tailored interventions for students requiring individual assistance around challenges related to learning, behaviour, and pathways planning. STRIVE teachers build supportive relationships and serve as initial points of contact for students. All Teachers are supported to offer pastoral care, reinforced by programs such as The Cave, Flourish and Tuning into Teens.
