Updates from our Wellbeing Team

Vaccinations! Vaccinations! Vaccinations! Its everyone’s favourite time of the year! Our brave Year 7 and Year 10 students stood up to the plate and rolled up their sleeves.

The NSW School Immunisation program provides opportunity for students to be protected against 5 diseases: Human Papillomavirus (9 types), Meningococcal ACWY (4 strains), Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis. Thank you to our school community for supporting the program.  Vaccination is one of the most effective public health initiatives of all time and we appreciate your efforts to save lives and prevent cancer.

NOW is the time to provide consent if you have not done so by following this link https://engage.health.nsw.gov.au/engage. NSW Health will be liaising with the school to organise a catch up date later this year.

It is not too late for consent to be given for 2024 Year 7 or Year 10 students.

We are very fortunate at WBHS to have a large number of Student Learning Support Officers working with our students from 7-12 across a range of subjects.

Our amazing SLSOs assist in classroom activities, school routines, and the care and management of students with disabilities, learning and medical disorders.

Mr Greive’s wellbeing groups have been involved in ‘Foodie Friday’.

One group of highly trained baristas have set up a coffee cart on Friday mornings serving a host of warm beverages to staff in need.

Later in the day a group of cooking enthusiasts, develop quick, easy meals that can be produced for weekday lunches and dinners.

The development of these life skills have been invaluable for many of our students.
