Social Worker

The Team

Wellbeing means that children and students feel loved and safe, they are healthy, they have access to material basics, they are learning and participating, and they have a positive sense of culture and identity. Learners with higher levels of wellbeing are eager to learn and better able to participate, which can lead to higher rates of engagement and attendance and improved overall performance. A strong sense of wellbeing enables learners to explore, experiment and engage actively in their learning environment with the confidence to take advantage of new opportunities.
