Student Wellbeing at Plenty River College
At Plenty River College (PRC), we believe that students learn best when they feel safe, supported, and connected. Our wellbeing program is a central part of our approach to education—designed to foster resilience, build meaningful relationships, and create a nurturing environment where every learner can thrive.
A Holistic Approach to Wellbeing
We provide a comprehensive range of tailored supports that nurture academic, social, and emotional growth. These include:
- A dedicated Wellbeing Team, led by our Wellbeing Team Leader and supported by caring welfare staff.
- Healthy and nutritious meals served daily for breakfast and lunch.
- Sensory-sensitive learning tools and resources to create inclusive and accessible learning spaces.
Our classrooms are equipped with sensory supports such as fidget tools to help students regulate their emotions, maintain focus, and manage anxiety.
Building Resilience Through Engagement
At PRC, we create opportunities for students to explore their strengths, interests, and creativity through:
- Elective programs such as visual arts, school band, and Dungeons & Dragons.
- Incursions and workshops with guest speakers and hands-on activities that extend learning beyond the classroom.
These experiences are designed to inspire confidence, personal growth, and a strong sense of belonging.
Supporting Physical and Emotional Health
We know that physical wellbeing is closely tied to emotional wellbeing. That’s why we encourage regular activity through:
- Our partnership with Reclink, offering inclusive sports and recreational activities such as ten pin bowling.
- Access to a local gym, promoting both fitness and mental wellness.
Individualised Support for Every Learner
PRC recognises the unique needs of each student. Our wellbeing services are designed to meet those needs through personalised strategies and support plans. Whether a student is developing self-regulation, navigating social challenges, or building resilience, our team is here every step of the way
