Student health and safety

wellbeing-students

Beverly Hills Girls High School is committed to the wellbeing of every student in our care.

 

We adopt a coordinated and holistic approach in supporting our students to make the most of their opportunities as learners and as young women. Student wellbeing is an important consideration on a range of levels at our school including curriculum and extra-curricular offerings, school – home communication, student health and safety and appropriate recognition of effort and achievement through the merit award system.

 

Our Student Welfare Team, led by Mrs Savva (Head Teacher Welfare) and comprised of Student Advisers, Assistant Student Advisers, Senior Executive, School Counsellor and Careers Adviser, meet fortnightly to discuss emerging issues that impact of the lives of our students and to plan and build capacity of the Team to deliver timely, informed support for students. Student Advisers and Assistant Student Advisers are the first point of contact for parents and carers when concerns arise for the health, safety or learning needs of their children.

 

We encourage parents/carers to keep our student welfare staff informed of any issue that may impact on their child’s learning. We ensure any information is taken in confidence and will be used only to inform relevant staff or assist in planning appropriate action. In particular, we appreciate the support of parents in ensuring diagnosed medical issues with students are made known to the school such that we can develop and maintain accurate Individual Health Care plans and respond appropriately when the need arises.

Like all NSW public schools, we promote the healthy development of students through:

  • school programs and practices that protect and promote health and safety
  • supporting individual students who need help with health issues
  • providing first aid and temporary care of students who become unwell or who have an accident at school.

Student wellbeing

Like all NSW public schools, we provide safe learning and teaching environments to encourage healthy, happy, successful and productive students.

The department is committed to creating quality learning opportunities for children and young people. These opportunities support wellbeing through positive and respectful relationships and fostering a sense of belonging to the school and community.

The Wellbeing Framework for Schools helps schools support the cognitive, physical, social, emotional and spiritual development of students and allows them to connect, succeed and thrive throughout their education.

Positive Behaviour for Learning

At our school, we use Positive Behaviour for Learning – a whole-school approach for creating a positive, safe and supportive school climate where students can learn and develop. Our whole school community works together to establish expected behaviours and teach them to all students.
