Student Wellbeing

Pastoral Care

The pastoral care provided by our teachers ensures your child is given a feeling of belonging, support to develop a positive self-image and help to manage the successes and disappointments in their lives.

This pastoral care is strengthened further by the schools’ student services team across primary and secondary school, supporting students physical, social, intellectual and emotional development through strong relationships with students and partnerships between school, parents and community.

School Psychologist

The School Psychologists apply their psychological and educational expertise to support schools to meet the social, emotional, learning and behavioural needs of students. The psychological service includes counselling, assessment, consultation and intervention with individual students, groups and at the whole school level.

Chaplains

The local churches of Kununurra generously support two YouthCARE chaplains at East Kimberley College. Chaplains work within the school as part of the student services team and care for the social, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being of students, families and staff. This support helps students achieve their potential both academically and in their social and family lives.  Chaplains have a pastoral care role which sees them support the school community through a wide variety of activities including one to one meetings, class visits, mentoring projects, targeted programs and practical support.
