What Is the Wellbeing Hub?
Schools are leading the way in regards to supporting students’ holistic health and wellbeing, with the establishment of Wellbeing Hubs within the school for students, staff and families to access.
This initiative is aligned closely with the Department of Education’s Wellbeing Framework for schools, which is their commitment to public schools to support students to connect, succeed and thrive at each stage of their development and learning. Thereby ensuring that at Molong Central School every student is known, valued and cared for.
The Wellbeing Hub provides a facility for visiting services and community agencies to access enabling them to provide professional support to our students and families.
The Wellbeing Hub is also the home to our School Councillor, Student Support Officer (SSO), Aboriginal Education Officers (AEO) and other Wellbeing team members from the Student Learning Support Team (SLSO).
