The Red Cliffs Secondary College’s Wellbeing program is central to the College’s goal of developing resilient, compassionate, successful citizens.
The aim of the wellbeing program is to support students to explore ways to develop their psychological, social, mental, emotional, spiritual, academic and physical health to achieve their optimal functioning.
The Wellbeing team can support students:
- Counselling
- Build strategies and skills to overcome mental and physical health concerns
- Offer support around advice around navigating difficult relationship issues at school or home
- Support students to manage study stress and build better school work habits and achieve their personal best.
- Advocate for external and internal programs and referrals to support the young person.
The Wellbeing team consists of the following passionate professionals who work alongside the student support team:
Brittany Russo (Wellbeing Co-ordinator)
Marita Barnes (Mental Health Practitioner)
Antoinette Tippett (School Nurse)
Zachery Sparks (School Chaplin)
Referrals:
Students are able to self-refer by attending the Wellbeing Centre at recess or lunch but they are also encouraged to speak to the Year Level Coordinator or Sub School Leader to organise a referral.
Families are also able to contact the Wellbeing Coordinator to organise a referral for their child.
Doctors in Secondary Schools (DiSS) program:
Doctors in Secondary Schools is an initiative within schools to ensure young people have easily accessible medical care. Red Cliffs Secondary is fortunate enough to have a Doctor and a Nurse onsite every Thursday. Appointments can be made through Student Reception.
