It is crucial that our school prioritises and supports the wellbeing of our students, as mental, emotional, and social health are key factors in their overall development and academic success. When students feel supported and safe, they are more likely to thrive both inside and outside the classroom. A focus on wellbeing helps create a positive school culture, where students can grow, learn, and engage with confidence.
The role of a School Student Wellbeing Officer is working closely with students to provide guidance, address concerns, and offer a safe space for students to express themselves, while collaborating with teachers, parents, and other staff members to create a positive and supportive school environment.
Our School Wellbeing Officer, Karen Bannister, is dedicated to fostering an inclusive and caring environment for all students. With her wealth of experience and compassionate approach, Karen is available to support students, helping them navigate challenges and promoting overall wellbeing within the school community.
Students can connect with Karen in C Block Student Services. Karen is available at WPSHS on a Thursday and Friday.
