Wellbeing

At Matraville Sports High School we create nurturing teaching and learning environments that enable students to be healthy, happy, engaged, and successful. We consider our students’ ages, backgrounds, ability, and interests and provide students with a broad range of wellbeing opportunities.

We have a designated Wellbeing room where students can seek support, connect, and eat together. School counsellors are also on site 5 days a week.

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.
