How to Make an Appointment

Appointments can be made by attending Wellbeing Reception and requesting a meeting time. For the Wellbeing Leaders and Youth Workers, an appointment will be made, and an appointment slip will be given to you to give to the teacher when you need to leave the class.

You can make an appointment with Dr Carla through the Assistant Principal Wellbeing, or the Wellbeing Leaders listed above. If you feel you’re unable to speak to your parents first about seeing Dr Carla you can discuss whether or not you are able to make an appointment without parent consent.

Wellbeing Resources for Parents

Staff, parents and students work together to provide a safe, caring and supportive learning environment where all students have the right to achieve their best and teachers have the right to teach; the school nurtures and guides students to respect learning, to have compassion for others and to work to achieve their best.

Seaview High School’s Behaviour Support procedures are consistent with the Department for Education’s Discipline Policy. Our procedures, actions and interactions are guided by our values: Respect, Empathy, Resilience and Integrity.

A student code of conduct places significant emphasis on the development and recognition of positive behaviours. Classroom agreements are developed between teachers and students, which include explicit behavioural expectations and negotiated consequences. Restorative Processes are a key strategy used to guide and develop positive behaviour. Harassment Grievance procedures are linked to the Behaviour Support Processes.

A Wellbeing for Learning & Life (WFLL) team; comprising of the Assistant Principal – Wellbeing, Student Counsellors, Youth Worker and Year Level Managers works collaboratively to provide support to staff in their work with students.

An Aboriginal Education Teacher and Aboriginal Secondary Education Transition Worker provide further support. The WFLL team liaises with staff, families and outside agencies.
