Bright P-12 College provides an internal student wellbeing service to Primary and Secondary students.
The Wellbeing Team consists of Principal, Assistant Principals, Student Wellbeing Support worker, Mental Health Practitioner and a Department of Education Student Support Services representative. The Wellbeing Team meets weekly to allocate referrals and liaise on appropriate support for students in need or at risk. The College Wellbeing Team works with the classroom teachers in Primary and Year Level Coordinators in Secondary to support the wellbeing of our students.
Families, teachers and students are able to refer to the school’s student wellbeing service. Students have the ability to self-refer by connecting with one of the school’s wellbeing practitioners or alternatively speaking to their parents/caregivers, teachers or year level coordinators. Parents/caregivers can connect to the student wellbeing service by expressing this to their student’s classroom teacher, year level coordinator or Assistant Principal. The referral will either be allocated to one of the internal wellbeing practitioners or alternatively support the arrangement of utilising an appropriate external service.
