Health and Well Being
The well being of students is paramount to the success of every student. Driven by our motto of achieve by caring we aim to ensure that every student feels safe and happy at school. For some students this requires additional supports and programs.
Mindfulness
“Mindfulness improves students’ ability to self regulate. If we improve self-regulation, we create optimal conditions for learning and therefore reduce the time spent managing poor behaviour. This has a flow on effect to teachers’ own health and well being, as well as their job satisfaction.” MMA
In 2020 all staff spent a day with Mindful Meditation Australia (MMA) learning the MM curriculum and Waggrakine has adopted a whole school approach to meditation.
Community Partnerships
We work in partnership with many community organisations, Child Adolescent and Mental Health, Ngala, Helping Minds to provide a community of support and interventions around our children with additional needs, whether long term or short term as they navigate the more complex and stressful road blocks in their lives.
