Student Support
Wellbeing
At Long Bay College, we are proud to foster a learning and social environment based on our core values of Care, Respect, Creativity and Community.
This environment supports our students as they navigate the teenage years and beyond. We offer a network of capable, dedicated and caring adults who are available to our students and their family members to reach out to at any time.
Atawhai
‘Atawhai’ is Māori for ‘Kindness’
Students attend regular Atawhai sessions which offers an important space, outside the curriculum, where students are supported, guided and mentored to ensure their unique talents are maximised, and their college experience is one of positivity and growth. Atawhai helps to ensure our students understand why their participation is so important, how they can make a difference and where they can find their sense of purpose. Atawhai is a unique and integral part of our college’s extraordinary culture of care
Atawhai Leader
The Atawhai Leader is a significant adult who will support and guide students through their Long Bay College journey. They are an important first point of contact and guide for students and their family members to discuss all aspects of school life.
