Student Wellbeing
In 2020 Derrinallum College introduced the Well-being Learning Team led by Mr Stephen. The team's focus is to strengthen the supports available for students and enrich the college's holistic view to well-being for staff, students and the wider community.
The Well-being Team is developing a whole school approach to Respectful Relationships and introduced the Advocacy Program to years 7-10. The Advocacy Program is designed to increase school connectedness and promote health and well-being by teaching students to think positively and proactively manage their schooling as they progress into senior years.
The Well-being team work to educate students about the purpose and meaning of special days such as the National Day of Action Against Bullying and "R U OK?" Day. Promoting mental health and helping to develop young citizens who will contribute positively to our community.
Derrinallum P-12 has a variety of student wellbeing programs. Students may also be referred to DET Student Services for specialised support with speech pathology, counselling or for assessment of their learning needs.
