At Living Faith we recognise the importance of educating the whole child. This includes  nurturing the social, emotional, academic, spiritual and behavioural needs of our students. This year we have a team of staff responsible for student well-being. This team is known as the Wellbeing Team and consists of 7 core team members including our Wellbeing Dog, Webster. 

The student wellbeing mentors and coaches advocate for students with identified and suspected learning or behavioural difficulties including academic or social emotional support and serve as a consultant to the classroom teachers. Under an inclusion model, the student wellbeing mentors and coaches work alongside class teachers and parents/carers to support student needs and behaviour. In the case of a child requiring an Individual Learning Plan, the relevant Stage Student Wellbeing Mentors  will facilitate these meetings with your child’s class teacher and act as a consultant for teachers to support students with a disability or learning difficulty. Support from the wellbeing mentors comes in many forms including: 

• Support on excursions, camps and school events, if required 
• Collaborating with class teachers to implement suitable adjustments and/or modifications to meet student needs and work towards individual learning goals, catering for students with specific learning disabilities 
• Meeting with parents and teachers to create and monitor Individual Learning Plans and behaviour development 
• Social and emotional support in and outside of the classroom

Whilst serving as School Chaplain, Mr Paul Bowyer has a primary focus on the well-being of families. He guides the wellbeing, spiritual, worship and community life of our school. He provides support to students and families at risk and serves as a student and family advocate and mentor. At times he may also work with small groups of students on programs designed for specific needs that may be identified throughout the year.
