Meet the Wellbeing Team!
At the ASMS we want to ensure every student feels supported throughout their school journey. If you’re experiencing any challenges, whether it’s stress, mental health, or general well-being, we encourage you to check in with your Learning Studies Group (LSG) teacher first. They can offer guidance and may suggest helpful strategies or connect you with the Wellbeing Team for additional support. Our Wellbeing Team is here to assist when needed, working alongside LSG teachers to help you navigate any difficulties. You’re never alone, support is always available!

Year 12 Seminar Day – Sensory Regulation Workshop
During our recent Year 12 Seminar Day, students participated in an engaging workshop on sensory regulation. The session explored how our senses impact focus, stress levels, and overall well-being, particularly during high-pressure times like Year 12. Each student had the opportunity to develop their own personalised sensory diet, identifying strategies and activities to help them stay calm, alert, and ready to learn. It was fantastic to see students reflecting on their own needs and building practical tools to support their success throughout the year.
