Wellbeing

At Georges River College Hurstville Campus, student wellbeing is central to learning and success. Our approach focuses on creating a safe, supportive and inclusive environment where every student can feel connected, develop confidence and achieve their personal best.

Our approach to student wellbeing is guided by the Wellbeing Framework for Schools, which supports the holistic development of students in the intellectual, physical, social, emotional and spiritual domains. This framework empowers our students to connect with others, achieve their potential and flourish throughout their educational journey.

Students are supported by a dedicated wellbeing team, including our Head Teacher Wellbeing, Year Advisers, School Counsellor, Student Support Officer and Learning and Support staff.

Recognising positive behaviour and achievement

Our school values of Respect, Responsibility and Excellence underpin our expectations for learning, behaviour and participation.

Through our merit and recognition system, students are acknowledged for demonstrating our school values, making positive contributions to the school community, achieving their personal best and showing commitment to their learning.

Recognition of student achievement helps build a positive school culture where effort, improvement, participation and success are celebrated

Every student known, valued and cared for
