Wellbeing

The SST coordinates interventions and, where appropriate, develops an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) to support the student's social and emotional development. Appendix F provides targeted strategies for areas of concern, including emotional and social wellbeing. The policy aims to create a safe, inclusive learning environment that prioritises student wellbeing.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
AusIS has a SEN Policy (2019-20). The School's SST includes the Principal, Coordinator, teachers and other staff, and coordinates support for students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). The policy supports mild to moderate SEN and uses ILPs and a formal SEN referral process (Appendix H) to plan interventions. A three-tier approach to SEN support is used, with Tier 1 for mild needs and Tier 3 for moderate needs, with progressive interventions and monitoring. Admission decisions consider SEN requirements and capacity, and progress is reviewed at least once per term.

Mental Wellbeing
The school values student wellbeing, with CAS emphasizing wellbeing alongside creativity, activity and service to foster balanced development and resilience. CAS programs promote physical and mental wellbeing through activities and reflection integrated into the curriculum. The SEN policy includes Emotional & Social Wellbeing as a focus area, with the SST implementing interventions aimed at students' emotional health. Activities and wellbeing-focused approaches are embedded to support students' emotional, ethical and intellectual growth.
