Wellbeing
At Lake Munmorah High School, we’re dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming learning environment where every student can thrive. Like all public schools in NSW, our goal is to foster our students' wellbeing, happiness, and success. We do this by offering high-quality learning experiences that focus on building positive and respectful relationships and helping students feel a strong sense of belonging, both within our school and the wider community.
Guided by the Wellbeing Framework for Schools, we aim to support the cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual development of students. This framework enables students to forge connections, achieve success, and flourish throughout their educational journey.
Learning & Support
The school's learning and support team is essential in addressing the specific needs of students with additional learning and support requirements, including those with disabilities. This team assists teachers in identifying and meeting these needs, ensuring a whole-school approach to enhancing the learning outcomes for all students. They coordinate planning and resources for students requiring extra support, design and implement strategies to build teacher capacity, and foster collaborative partnerships with parents, carers, other professionals, and the wider school community. For more information on the programs and services available to support these students, visit Disability, learning and support. .
WELLBEING HUB
Discover our Wellbeing Hub located in E106, nestled within the back corridor of E block, designed to provide essential support services for students. Here, students can seek guidance from the Head Teacher Welfare, Wellbeing Team, and Student Support Officer, fostering connections and supporting students to engage in the school learning community.
Our primary goal at the Wellbeing Hub is to support students in developing their potential, enhancing their resilience, and ensuring their overall well-being. Students are encouraged to utilize the Hub to acquire valuable strategies for behavior management, resilience-building, and to feel supported throughout their academic journey. Open during class time for students to access staff support with teacher permission. The Hub is also open at break times providing an opportunity for students to connect with their peers and foster social interactions.
Breakfast Club

All students are invited to indulge in a selection of breakfast options served from 7:30 am to 7:55 am. Start your day off right by joining us and enjoying some delicious breakfast treats.
