Student Wellbeing at Earnshaw State College
At Earnshaw State College, we believe that social and emotional wellbeing is fundamental to every student's success. When students feel safe, connected and supported, they are better able to learn, build positive relationships and achieve success.
We are committed to creating an inclusive and caring learning environment where every student is known, valued and supported. Through a whole-school approach to wellbeing, we nurture resilience, belonging and confidence, helping students develop the skills they need to thrive both at school and throughout life.
Our dedicated Student Wellbeing Team supports students and families across all year levels from Prep to Year 12. The team includes:
- Guidance Officer
- Social Worker
- School Chaplain
- School Nurse
- Engagement Teacher
Working collaboratively with students, families and staff, the Student Wellbeing Team provides social, emotional and wellbeing support, assists students to overcome challenges, and connects families with additional services when needed. Together, we help ensure every student has the opportunity to flourish in a positive, supportive and inclusive college community.
