Wellbeing

At Carranballac College, we believe that the wellbeing of our students is enhanced and learning outcomes optimised when they feel connected to others and experience safe and trusting relationships. Students who feel connected, safe and secure are more likely to be active participants in their learning and to achieve better physical, emotional, social and educational outcomes.  The promotion of their wellbeing is necessary to achieve success.

We focus on social and emotional learning, academic skills, social skills, emotional regulation and resilience. Wellbeing education and our College values are encouraged through the use of a variety of teaching strategies and resources relevant to each year level. These values inspire students to make positive choices in their learning and interactions with others.

We hold the care, safety and wellbeing of our students as a central and fundamental responsibility of our school. All programs aim to create a strong culture of wellbeing within the classroom and across the school to maximise learning and teaching.

Wellbeing Rooms

Our school’s Wellbeing Room is a calm, supportive space where students can regulate, reflect and access guided assistance from our wellbeing team. It provides a quiet environment designed to help students feel safe, connected and ready to learn. Every day at recess and lunch, a range of wellbeing clubs run in the space, staffed by our Engagement Officer and a member of the wellbeing team, giving students opportunities to build friendships, develop social skills and engage in positive activities. Our wellbeing supports also include access to a psychologist and speech therapist, ensuring students receive specialised care when needed. Just outside the room, students can enjoy our wellbeing musical instrument, a gentle, sensory tool that encourages relaxation and emotional regulation through sound. Together, these spaces and supports reflect our commitment to nurturing wellbeing, building resilience and ensuring every student feels valued and supported at school.
