SURF COAST SECONDARY COLLEGE
Wellbeing and Inclusivity
At Surf Coast Secondary College we provide a safe, supportive and inclusive learning environment for all our students. We believe that by working together with students and their families, we are able to provide the best possible wellbeing outcomes for our young people.
We have a dedicated Wellbeing Team including a school psychologist, social workers and a health promotions nurse. This team is further supported by sub-school leading teachers for positive climate and student engagement. We also have a leading teacher and two sub-school support teachers for inclusive practices to support students with additional learning needs.
Our Wellbeing Team provide individual and group support for students, as well as managing referrals to other support organisations. We run a range of student wellbeing and engagement programs across all levels of the College, which support students to enhance emotional intelligence, make strong connections with peers, build resilience and confidence, and learn new social and life skills outside of the classroom environment.
Our Inclusion Team work with students and families to develop individual education plans that support students with specific, identified additional learning needs. This team monitors student learning growth and personal development and lead our termly student support group meetings.
At Surf Coast Secondary College we aim to build a learning community that values, celebrates and responds to diversity. We have a number of policies specifically developed to guide our inclusive practices and to ensure the physiological safety of all community members.
Our College is well connected to external support agencies including Headspace, Meli, GASP, private practices and the Surf Coast Shire youth support network.
