Wellbeing

Student wellbeing and support is a key pillar of Taminmin’s programs. Taminmin’s wellbeing team provide ongoing support to students and their families. The Flexible Learning Centre is the wellbeing hub providing referrals and academic support to students. Carmel LeLay is the Student Services Coordinator.

The chaplaincy service is for students, staff and families to just ‘have a chat’, to share a concern or to ‘tap’ into helpful resources. Pastoral care, specific wellbeing and character building programs, questions of life all fall within our services for students. Specific engagement with students on a ‘one to one’ and small group basis requires parent permission. Feedback regarding the program can be sent to the Principal. The Permission for Student to Participate in Chaplaincy Program at Taminmin College form can be downloaded here. Please return the form to Student Reception. The program is funded through the federally funded NSCSWP (National Schools Chaplaincy Student Welfare Program) program and is voluntary. Students may opt out of the program at any time, and can discuss this further with the Principal.

The Youth Worker role is to support and advocate on behalf of young people facing welfare, behavioural, developmental, social and protection issues. The Youth Worker may work with young people on an individual or group basis, offering practical and emotional support and helping them to develop skills to make positive changes in their lives.
