Supporting student wellbeing includes ensuring access to essential health services.

Facilitated by the Earbus Foundation of WA, hearing health checks were available to students with family consent, providing an important opportunity for early identification of potential hearing concerns. These checks play a key role in supporting students' ability to engage fully in learning and school life.

By offering this service as part of Education Days, students were supported through a holistic approach to wellbeing, ensuring their health needs were recognised alongside their learning experience.

A sincere thank you to the Earbus Foundation for providing this vital support for our students.

Our recent lunch was a valuable opportunity to reconnect with our partner school registrars and staff involved in student allocation and strengthen our collaborative approach moving forward. Throughout the session, we introduced the new Madalah Portal, showcasing how the platform will support streamlined communication, improved access to information, and more efficient processes for all stakeholders involved.

The event also provided a space for meaningful discussion around refining current processes, identifying areas for improvement, and ensuring our partnership continues to evolve in a way that best supports students and communities. We appreciated the open conversations, shared insights, and continued commitment from our registrars as we work together to enhance the overall experience and outcomes for students throughout their secondary education journey.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the conversations throughout the event.

Making informed choices about health and wellbeing was the focus of this important senior session.

By creating space for conversation and learning, the session helped students build awareness and confidence to make positive decisions about their health and wellbeing.
