Student Support

A safe, supportive environment where every student can thrive

Our Student Services Team works collaboratively with staff, families and the wider community to provide a safe, supportive environment where students can succeed academically, socially and emotionally.

Each term we organise workshops, programs and events promoting social and emotional growth and wellbeing. We also work closely with partner agencies including Youth Focus, Headspace, and the City of Rockingham Youth Centre.

Quiet study spaces, computer access, and teacher support available before and after school.

🤝 Connect & Respect

Our Connect and Respect initiative promotes positive relationships, standing together against violence, and creating a respectful school community. Good Standing recognises students who demonstrate respectful conduct, positive behaviour, and responsibility.

Respectful Conduct

Treating peers, teachers, and staff with kindness and consideration.

Positive Behaviour

Actions that promote a safe and supportive learning environment.

Responsibility

Taking ownership and contributing positively to our community.

Vaping Awareness

Vapes are harmful at any age. They contain toxic chemicals that impact physical and mental health, and can cause lung damage. Young brains — still developing until age 25 — are particularly vulnerable.

Our college has a comprehensive Vaping Prevention and Education Strategy including workshops led by health professionals, peer education initiatives, and awareness campaigns created by students.
