Wellbeing
Students are better prepared for learning when they are healthy, safe and happy, therefore, student welfare is the responsibility of all staff working in a whole school context. Student learning cannot be separated from welfare.
Striving to help students at the College to learn effectively and to develop positive behaviours and attitudes are shared goals of teachers, student support services staff and parents. At Ringwood Secondary College, we aim provide an environment which provides for each individual student to maximise their educational potential.
Positive Education
Ringwood Secondary College is guided by ‘Positive Education’ principles (Pos Ed) with the aim of allowing our students to flourish. The wellbeing team is committed to implementing and embedding Pos. Ed. initiatives through the programs we offer.
