Like never before our school communities have been tested. The pandemic has disrupted they way we’ve had to learn and our support networks. As students settle back into the classroom for face-to-face learning, schools will focus on supporting students’ mental health and wellbeing and identifying students who will need help catching up. Mental Health Practitioners We’re putting a mental health practitioner on site in every single high school. They’ll be working with our schools on one-on-one support as well as whole-of-school approaches to mental wellbeing. Tutors for Students To make sure that students don’t fall behind the Andrews Labor Government is delivering a $250 million package to deploy more than 4,100 tutors across Victorian Government Schools in 2021. School Breakfast Program Our School Breakfast and Lunch Clubs are still on the menu – we’ve delivered more than 13.4 million free and healthy meals to students since the program began – including over 33,300 to those here in Northcote. School Readiness Funding In an Australian first, very early learning centre with a funded kindergarten program will have access to school readiness funding. This lets kinders access speech and occupational therapists, language and literacy professionals and child psychologists, to give our kids the best start.
