INTRODUCTION

At Heritage, student wellbeing is integral to learning. We are committed to providing a safe, supportive, inclusive environment in which every student can learn, develop positive relationships, build resilience, and feel a strong sense of belonging.

 

Student wellbeing is a shared whole-school responsibility. Teachers, school leaders, Student Wellbeing personnel, the School Clinic, Learning Support, families, and students work together to ensure concerns are identified early and students receive the right support from the right person.
