The Academy aims to provide very high levels of individual support for students.
Care Coaches and House Leaders coordinate the Care and House systems to provide support and to liaise with teachers and specialised Academy personnel who assist students in their needs and wellbeing.
The Care group structure fosters a sense of belonging for each student within a team environment that supports, encourages and celebrates success.
Students are part of a vertical care system where they interact with students from all year levels in a supportive environment.
Care group coaches play an integral role in forming meaningful relationships with the students and fostering effective communication and trust with parents.
The care coach will remain with the students for the three years at the Academy. They are also the first point of contact at the Academy for student/family progress and welfare issues.
The house system aims to build a sense of team and to support student welfare and progress needs. The three houses are E’veiller, Matjiin and Vivezza.
The student circle of support in the Academy is extended by the engagement of specialised personnel, including a guidance counsellor.
The guidance counsellor has an extensive knowledge of education, health and local welfare agencies and can refer students when required.
Working with other members of the student support services, administration, staff and parents to see that the welfare needs of students are met, the guidance counsellor can offer direct career and personal counselling services to individual students and groups and well as providing course and career information to the student community.
Student wellbeing is a priority of all staff at the Academy and we aim to provide the highest level of care and support to enable students to be supported in a healthy, safe and happy environment.
