Student wellbeing
At Sandringham College we place a strong emphasis on student wellbeing and offer a vast array of support.
Our support network
Key to our effective support of student learning and wellbeing is strategic allocation of a fulltime Wellbeing Coordinator at each campus. Our extensive support network includes an Additional Learning Support Co-ordinator (who works across both campuses), Student Managers, Headspace Psychologists (located at each campus on a part time basis), DET SSSO staff and local Social and Youth Work services.
Our commitment
Sandringham College is committed to the safety and wellbeing of children and young people. Our school community recognises the importance of, and a responsibility for, ensuring our school is a safe, supportive and enriching environment which respects and fosters the dignity and self-esteem of children and young people, and enables them to thrive in their learning and development.
