The Commonwealth Minister for Education Jason Clare and Queensland’s Minister for Education Grace Grace were on campus today to announce funding for a $35.8 million Commonwealth Student Wellbeing Boost for mental health and wellbeing projects in Queensland schools.
The college will receive $50,000, which will provide key enhancements to the college’s existing student wellbeing program.
“The college certainly puts wellbeing at the centre of everything we do as one of the central values of our school community and we welcome this further funding which will help us enhance skills to support mental health and wellbeing in younger students and also enhance our facilities where all students and families can confidentially access our wide range of wellbeing support staff and resources, from one central physical hub. We recognise that for students to be in an optimal place for learning, we need proactive and holistic support and that is why, as a College, we invest heavily in initiatives and programs to support student health and wellbeing.” Joel Buchholz
Captains Cassidy and Sandave also shared what the Wellbeing Centre meant to them, stating that the Wellbeing Centre is a sanctuary for students to receive guidance, support, and strength.
“The focus on wellbeing at school creates an atmosphere of openness and encouragement, whereby students feel safe and comfortable to seek help if need be. Beyond just the Wellbeing Centre, the culture of wellbeing at Kelvin Grove is fostered through the unwavering support from staff and the unity and camaraderie of students. At Kelvin Grove, students feel valued, encouraged, safe, and inspired to be their best selves. When wellbeing becomes a priority in education, students develop resilience to face adversity, empowering them to excel both in the classroom and outside of it.” Cassidy
