As we move into 2026, our Wellbeing Team looks forward to continuing our partnership with students and families to promote positive mental health, connection, and wellbeing across our school community.

Supporting students’ social and emotional development remains a key priority, helping children build confidence, resilience, and the skills they need to thrive at school and beyond. Our Wellbeing Team is made up of five dedicated members who work collaboratively to support both students and staff.

• Jordan Wheatcroft is our school Counsellor, providing support to students and guiding the team with his expertise. 
  
  
• Billie Jo Cook is our Chaplain, with a key focus on staff wellbeing and fostering a positive and supportive workplace culture. 
  
  
• Brett Middleton and Carol Harry work directly with students, delivering wellbeing programs, providing day-to-day support, and working closely with Jordan to ensure students receive consistent and effective care. 
  
  
• Our Principal, Andrew Edmondson, is the fifth member of the team and plays an important role in supporting and guiding the overall wellbeing vision of the school.
  

Throughout the year, students will engage in wellbeing programs such as Friendology and Zones of Regulation. These programs support students to develop healthy friendships, understand and manage their emotions, and respond positively to challenges.

We are pleased to continue our partnership with The Fathering Project in 2026. The resources provided through the portal focus on building strong relationships, supporting children’s emotional wellbeing, and fostering positive communication at home.

Lola, our much-loved wellbeing dog, will once again play a special role in supporting students throughout the year. Lola provides comfort and calm, helping students feel safe, supported, and relaxed, particularly during times of heightened emotion or stress.

Our Wellbeing Team looks forward to working closely with families in 2026 as we continue to build a caring, respectful, and emotionally supportive school community where every child feels valued, safe, and empowered to succeed.
