Wellbeing

Ingleburn High School emphasises a holistic and whole school approach to supporting student wellbeing.

At Ingleburn High School the Wellbeing Team, in collaboration with both teaching and non-teaching staff are committed to providing opportunities for growth and positive learning experiences. We work as a team to deliver targeted, stage and whole school wellbeing initiatives and programs developed to enhance the social and emotional, mental, cognitive, physical and spiritual wellbeing of the students who attend our school.

How we support student wellbeing

Supporting each student’s mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing is part of everyday school life.

We do this through:

Cultivation of a supportive and inclusive school culture where every student feels valued, respected, and safe.
Expanding and enhancing access to wellbeing support services, including counselling, health education, and crisis intervention, for students, families, and staff.
Teachers who help students feel welcome and included

Wellbeing courses we offer

Feeling Fantastic

This new course aims at helping adolescents understand their feelings and emotions such as anxiety and depression and learn how to express these emotions in healthy ways as opposed to internalizing them. Other emotions such as fear, frustration, anxiety, embarrassment and feelings of depression can be the primary emotion and without this understanding and knowing how to vent these emotions in healthy ways, they can turn volatile.

Celebrating the Unique You

The Celebrating the unique you program is designed to support students struggling with self-esteem issues, feelings of not fitting in and identity issues. Its purpose is to provide guidance on distinguishing healthy from unhealthy coping mechanisms. The program aims to boost students’ self-esteem, foster a positive self-image and assist them with the challenges of identity and belonging.
