Wellbeing, Inclusion & Engagement

Cranbourne West Secondary College is committed to providing a safe, secure and stimulating learning environment for all students. We are a college that sets high expectations for our students and one that strives to create an environment which embraces diversity, inclusivity and multiculturalism in the wider community.

It is an environment which supports students to feel comfortable, safe and confident in themselves, and to seek support from our wide array of student support services when they need it. The college believes strongly that in order for students to realise their full potential, they need to be happy, healthy and safe. Cranbourne West Secondary College supports its students to engage with their learning programs fully and acknowledges that student wellbeing and student learning outcomes are inextricably linked.
