Like all NSW public schools we provide safe learning and teaching environments to encourage healthy, happy, successful and productive students.
The Department of Education is committed to creating quality learning opportunities for children and young people. These opportunities support wellbeing through positive and respectful relationships and foster a sense of belonging to the school and community.
The Wellbeing Framework for Schools helps schools support the cognitive, physical, social, emotional and spiritual development of students allowing them to connect, succeed and thrive throughout their education.
Our Wellbeing Programs
Our Wellbeing Program varies from year to year and is responsive to the needs of our current student cohort. Our Wellbeing Team is lead by our Assistant Principal (wellbeing) and includes our School Principal, our School Psychologist and our Student Support Officer. The team meets weekly to discuss student progress and we liaise closely with external agencies such as Headspace, Streetwork and CYMHS as well as working closely with individual student allied health professionals. Whilst we have our Wellbeing Team it is a fundamental principle of The Beach School that each staff member has a responsibility for each student's wellbeing.
Our wellbeing initiatives are designed to address the unique needs of our students, focusing on resilience, emotional regulation, respectful relationships and a sense of community. Programs may include activities promoting mindfulness, social skills and physical health as well as access to resources for mental health and academic support. We also engage with external groups who visit the school including GPs in Schools, the Butterfly Foundation and Ask for Health.
By fostering a supportive environment we empower every student to reach their full potential and contribute positively to their school and community.
