Wellbeing

Wellbeing and Support are deeply ingrained in the culture at Lindfield College. We want every student at our school to feel included, respected and that they belong. We prioritise a respectful and inclusive environment where students feel ready to learn. Whether your child needs extra help or just someone to talk to, we’re here to support their learning, growth and wellbeing.

We have onsite student counsellors and wellbeing staff to ensure that every student feels heard, safe and supported at school.

How we support student wellbeing

Supporting each student’s mental, emotional and social wellbeing is part of everyday school life.

We do this through:

• teachers who help students feel welcome and included
• access to school counsellors and other specialist staff
• programs that support physical health, mental health, social skills 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
• open communication with families about wellbeing and support.

Support that fits your child’s needs

Some students need extra support to feel confident and do their best at school. We work closely with families to make a plan that suits each child’s needs.

These support plans can include:

• teachers and support staff working together with families (and students, if needed)
• regular check-ins to review and update the plan
• accessible classrooms, assistive technology, or changes to learning activities for students with additional needs.

We know when a student needs help when:

• teachers notice changes in learning or behaviour
• reviewing assessment results and learning progress
• parents and carers raise concerns or ask for support.

If you think your child may need extra help, speak with their teacher or contact our school office.
