Wellbeing at Evelyn Scott School
At Evelyn Scott School, we have invested heavily in wellbeing because we understand that learning and wellbeing are inextricably linked. We recognise the strong association between safety, wellbeing and learning. We use the Australian Student Wellbeing Framework to create safe, supportive and respectful teaching and learning communities.
Our objective is for learners to:
- feel safe, valued and have a sense of belonging at school
- develop healthy and respectful relationships within their community
- become socially and emotionally aware citizens
We have extended our Wellbeing Team in 2023 to build on our specialist staff for both our Junior and Senior Campuses.
- Beth Matters is our Wellbeing Coach for our Junior Campus
- Michael Hilton is our Wellbeing Coach for our Senior Campus
- Matthew James is our Youth Support Worker and he is currently working across P-10
- Melissa Collie is our School Psychologist for our Junior Campus. We are awaiting a School Psychologist allocation for our Senior Campus. In the meantime, we will manage referrals for our Senior Campus via a team within the ACT Education Directorate.
- Marnie Lotts is our Wellbeing and Careers Support Officer in the Senior Campus
Our Wellbeing Team works closely with the school leadership team, teachers, young people and families.
