The Health & Wellbeing Team is dedicated to fostering a positive and nurturing environment where learners can thrive both physically and emotionally. We oversee a range of programs and initiatives that support mental health, physical fitness, nutrition, and social-emotional learning through Personal, Social, Health, and Economic (PSHE) education, Relationships, Sex, and Health Education (RSHE), Physical Education, and Religious Education.
We are also proud to deliver the SoSAFE! program, which is designed to teach learners about personal safety and respectful relationships in an engaging and age-appropriate manner. Additionally, we coordinate special events such as Sports Day and Anti-Bullying Day, which further enrich our educational programs and promote a culture of inclusivity, respect, and well-being.
By promoting healthy lifestyle choices and providing access to essential resources, we aim to empower our learners to reach their full potential. Our team works closely with teachers, families, and the community to create a supportive network that prioritises the holistic well-being of every learner. Through workshops, activities, and personalised support, we are committed to equipping our learners with the skills and knowledge they need for lifelong health and happiness.
Subjects covered by the Health & Wellbeing team are:
- Personal, Health, Social and Economic Education (PHSE) led by Rachael Gifford
- Relationships, Health and Sex Education (RHSE) led by Rachael Gifford

SoSAFE!
We are dedicated to fostering the social and emotional development of our learners through the SoSAFE! program. SoSAFE! is an evidence-based, inclusive educational initiative designed specifically for learners with moderate and severe learning difficulties. This program teaches learners about social safety, including relationships, boundaries, and personal safety, in a manner that is both engaging and accessible. Utilising visual tools and clear social scripts, SoSAFE! supports learners in understanding how to interact safely and respectfully with others. By implementing SoSAFE!, we equip our learners with essential skills to build positive relationships and confidently navigate social situations, thereby enhancing their well-being and success both in and out of school.
