Overview

Schools are increasingly expected to respond to complex student mental health and wellbeing needs. Yet many wellbeing efforts rely on classroom strategies and isolated programs to address challenges that require a coordinated system of support. This session introduces the School Wellbeing Systems Scorecard, a practical tool designed to help schools evaluate the strength of their approach to student mental health and wellbeing. Participants will be guided through a simple framework covering areas such as early identification, tiered supports, staff capability, student voice and integration with external services. Using an interactive format, attendees will have the opportunity to reflect on their own school context and assess how their current structures support student wellbeing. The session will also showcase examples of how schools have strengthened these domains in practice, highlighting strategies that move wellbeing from a collection of initiatives to a coherent system of support. School leaders will leave with a practical framework they can use to identify gaps, prioritise improvements and strengthen their school’s approach to supporting student mental health.
