Learner wellbeing

Wirreanda Secondary School aims to provide a positive and caring community through enhanced partnerships with school, family and community. Our Learner Wellbeing team supports our students to improve their physical, emotional and social wellbeing through various individual and group programs, daily breakfast club and targeted one on one case management. 

Our learner wellbeing services include access to a number of health professionals including an occupational therapist, a psychologist, youth workers, youth mentors, a school mental health support worker, school counsellors and case management by external professional family support services such as the Smith Family. 

All of our new learner wellbeing spaces are purpose-built and developed to meet the needs of our student cohort. Our consulting rooms and meeting spaces have been put together with feedback from our young people and key professional staff. They are designed to respond to barriers that may be impacting students’ physical, social, emotional, cognitive and spiritual state of being. Support across all of these areas is a site priority and is integral to developing and supporting effective learners. As part of our learner wellbeing support structures and spaces, we now have a Reset Room for the co-facilitation of regulation, the Mindful Zone for youth mentor check-ins and ‘mindful minutes’ access, and the Learner Wellbeing Centre for targeted case management appointments and support.
