West Moreton Anglican College (WestMAC) has both a Defence Transition Aide (for Junior School) and a Defence Transition Mentor (for Middle and Senior Schools) to assist Defence Families, particularly during transitions between schools or during parental absence.
There are many ways we may be able to help you and your family, which may include:
- Assist young people from Australian Defence Force families integrate into the College community.
- Co-ordinate appropriate welcoming and farewelling strategies for young people of Australian Defence Force families.
- Support students to develop their self-confidence and resilience.
- Assist young people manage the challenges of transitions.
- Refer students where necessary to appropriate student support services.
- Develop and implement programs and resources that address issues and needs.
- Monitor students’ day to day social and emotional well-being.
- Support young people at school during times of parental absence from home for service requirements.
- Facilitate student participation in cultural, sporting, academic and personal development programs.
- Raise awareness of Defence related issues facing students such as parental absence due to service requirements.
If you would like to discuss in further detail how we can assist your family, please contact us on the details below.
For prospective families, we are more than happy to help facilitate the transition between schools to ensure your child settles in at WMAC as quickly as possible and becomes integrated in the College community.
