Our Welfare team is made up of teachers from across the school, who work together with parents to ensure the wellbeing of our students.
'Wellbeing for schools sets out to enable students to be healthy, happy, engaged and successful'
Students are actively involved in information gathering, planning, developing and delivering programs across the school that empower students and staff with the tools they need to ensure students grow into safe, resilient and confident learners.
Building student agency and a strong sense of advocacy, the team has been recognised at regional and state forums for the development of the Step in, Step up anti bullying action plan.
Role of the Anti-Racism Contact Officer (ARCO)
Racism can have serious impacts on educational outcomes, wellbeing and student behaviour. As such, promoting acceptance of cultural diversity and challenging discriminatory behaviours is an important issue at Woolooware High School. The ARCO is a trusted and experienced member of staff who works to minimise or eliminate racism and its effect on school communities. In the event of an allegation of racism, the ARCO provides a structure through which students, parents, teaching and non-teaching staff and community members can be confident their complaints will be listened to and dealt with in a timely, impartial and professional manner. The ARCO can use informal conflict resolution; assist with the lodging of a formal complaint; and gather data about racism. The ARCO also has a proactive role in raising awareness and promoting anti-racism education in the school.
