Students at South Campus are supported, encouraged, and inspired by staff that are willing to provide the extra assistance necessary to help them to achieve their best academically, culturally, on the sporting field and in community participation. Students are supported in their education in a variety of ways, including support from the Head Teacher of Learning and Support, the Learning and Support Team (LAST), Wellbeing Coordinators and Pastoral Care staff.

School Learning Support Officers (SLSOs)
School learning support officers work under the direction and supervision of the classroom teacher. They provide assistance to students with disability and additional learning and support needs enrolled in specialist support classes and mainstream classes. They can provide assistance with school routines, classroom activities, and the care and management of students with disability and additional learning and support needs.
Wellbeing Coordinators
Each year group has two Wellbeing Coordinators (Year Advisors) who are there to support the students in each year. They follow the group through from Year 7 and are a first point of contact for students or their families if they have concerns with their schooling, classes, friends or wellbeing.
Student success is celebrated and documented as part of our 'Learning Expectations' and student merit and reward system - CARES. Our student discipline system is focused on the rights of the teacher to teach and the students to learn, while also providing strong welfare support for students.
