Caroline Chisholm School (CCS) is very pleased to announce that the school has been successful in our application to be included in the National Student Wellbeing Program (NSWP). The Commonwealth provided the Directorate with funding to support the delivery of the NSWP.
CCS has engaged a suitably qualified Student Wellbeing Officer, Jessie Zala, to provide student wellbeing services. It is not compulsory for any student to participate in activities or receive services from the Student Wellbeing Officer. All services that are delivered by the Student Wellbeing Officer will be approved by the school principal and have the appropriate prior parental/guardian consent.
The aim of the NSWP is to assist our school community to support the wellbeing of students. In response to the needs of our school community, the student wellbeing officer’s key tasks will be:
- Provide students, their families and schools staff with support and appropriate referrals to specialist services as needed.
- Provide wellbeing care and support to students in the form of targeted social and emotional learning groups.
- Contribute to improving student engagement and connectedness.
- Be part of the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), Be You, Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) Working Group and Cultural Connection action teams.
- Run programs such as the Community Breakfast, and community programs.
- Participate in school activities such as sporting events, barbeques, Cultural Connections.

At CCS, we are committed to handling complaints in a manner that is polite, fair and quick. All complaints are managed in line with the Directorate’s Complaints Policy.
