Student Wellbeing

Wellbeing relates to the state of being comfortable, healthy or happy. Hallett Cove School believes in promoting and maintaining positive wellbeing within the school community. Numerous studies suggest that with a positive wellbeing, students and staff alike, have better resilience and coping strategies, have a more positive outlook on life and are more likely to achieve success. 

At Hallett Cove School we actively address student wellbeing though:

• A focus on our whole school values: Listening, Organisation, Respect,
• Our carefully constructed Pastoral Care program
• Special focus days held each term. For example; Harmony day, IDAHOBIT day, RUOK day.
• Lunchtime clubs, including; Yoga, Gay Straight Alliance.

However, sometimes life throws us a curve ball and it is okay to seek help.

If and when the need arises, student can access the school Student Wellbeing team service.
