Wellbeing Centre for Secondary Students
A new Wellbeing Centre, dedicated to enhancing the wellbeing of the school community, is being constructed at St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School’s Warragul Secondary School.
The Wellbeing Centre will provide several purpose-designed consultation offices that will cater for an increased number of counsellors and psychologists, allowing more students to access support when needed.
A shared multi-purpose space offers a calm and quiet area for student group interventions during the school day, and staff meetings outside of school hours. Adjacent to the multipurpose space, a separate room offers a reflective space for students who would benefit from time away from others, and those who are accessing external services either in person or via telehealth.
With a design inspired by the natural environment and built to emulate the flow of a river, the space will be furnished with muted tones, soft textures and curved walls that will soften the area and engender a sense of calm.
The building is set to be completed by the middle of this year.
