Our Commitment to Wellbeing
Student wellbeing is a critical and central part of the Berengarra School model and sits at the forefront of decision-making at all times. Every staff member takes responsibility for supporting student wellbeing, and a dedicated wellbeing team ensures the consistent and high-quality delivery of wellbeing services and initiatives across the school.
How We Support Students
Behaviour as Communication
All students are supported through wellbeing-focused behaviour management practices that recognise behaviour as communication and as an opportunity for learning and growth.
Building Skills & Insight
Students are helped to build understanding, insight and practical skills to manage their own needs within the school environment.
Strong Relationships
Strong relationships are viewed as essential to successful engagement, and curriculum content is designed with wellbeing in mind, carefully adjusted to meet the needs of each student.
Ready Access to Support
Targeted strategies and interventions are implemented to address individual behavioural challenges, and students have ready access to support and informal counselling when needed.
A Supportive Community
Staff are selected for their ability to work effectively with students who have diverse needs, and every student is well known across the school community. Programs and processes are tailored to target individual needs, with diversity accepted and celebrated.
Families and carers are supported when issues arise that impact school engagement, and the school works closely with external professionals and services involved in each student’s care.
All of this takes place within a Child Safe school environment committed to protecting and supporting every young person.
Specialised Support
Some students receive specialised support when their needs require a more intensive or targeted response. This includes access to formal counselling delivered by qualified professionals, as well as individual casework for students who are at risk or presenting with complex needs.
Safety Plans
Personalised safety plans are developed and regularly reviewed to ensure appropriate supports are in place.
Attendance Support
Students experiencing difficulties with attendance are provided with intensive, structured support to help them re-engage with learning.
