Wellbeing

At Good Shepherd, we have an experienced Wellbeing team to build a safe, inclusive and connected school community, with a culture that values diversity and fosters positive, respectful relationships.

The Wellbeing team is guided by the Australian Student Wellbeing Framework to provide every student with the strongest foundation possible for each of them to reach their aspirations in learning and in life.

We have a holistic approach to support students and families to strengthen student engagement and learning outcomes. We provide services such as learning interventions, emotional and friendship support, individual or small group support, counselling, and psychological assessment for students with specific needs.
