Wellbeing

At our school, student wellbeing and learning go hand in hand. We want every student to feel safe, included and ready to learn. Whether your child needs help with their mental, emotional, social or physical wellbeing, we are here to help them thrive at school and in daily life.

Like all NSW public schools, we provide safe learning and teaching environments to encourage healthy, happy, successful and productive students.

The department is committed to creating quality learning opportunities for children and young people. These opportunities support wellbeing through positive and respectful relationships and fostering a sense of belonging to the school and community.

The  Wellbeing Framework for Schools  helps schools support the cognitive, physical, social, emotional and spiritual development of students and allows them to connect, succeed and thrive throughout their education.

Bomaderry High School is committed to explicitly teaching and modelling positive behaviour and to supporting all students to be engaged with their learning. We model positive behaviour through having a school-wide set of expectations, which apply across the whole school in all circumstances and settings.

For more information on how we encourage students to meet those expectations, see our  BHS School Behavior Support and Management Plan 2025
