Wellbeing
Vermont Secondary College recognises that from time to time students and families have challenges in their life that may impact on their well being, which in turn can have a significant effect on how they feel about school. The Well Being team is a resource available for all students that aims to support students to feel safe and able to be at school and to learn to the best of their ability.
The Well Being team at Vermont Secondary College provides the following supports to students:
- Support for students and their families
- Referral to external support services
- Small group programs
- Access to well being related information
- Assistance with text books and uniform for families experiencing financial stress
Students requiring short to medium term support dependent on the circumstances can at times access this through the Well Being team. For longer term support or for areas of support that require specialist knowledge families will be supported to access this support through external agencies and supports.
