At Mooroopna Park Primary School we have a strong focus on the wellbeing of our students, staff and families. This is a key  contributing component of academic success for our students. 

We are proud past winners of the Australian Education Awards ‘Best Wellbeing Program’. Our program is made up of a number of components and we are continually evaluating and adding to these to improve student outcomes.

• We have a full time Wellbeing Officer who coordinates our Paediatric clinic, works with visiting specialist services and can put families in touch with community organisations that may be of benefit.
• Our Paediatric Clinic makes it easy for families to access a Paediatrician for their children where necessary. Clinics are run each month and appointments are held at the school. There is no cost for families for this service.
• We have a Speech Therapist and Occupational Therapist on staff who assess all of our students and provide follow up therapy where appropriate. Our partnership with Melbourne University means we also host speech therapist and occupational therapist students each term who provide extra support and therapy. Our Therapists provide one on one therapy, small group sessions and work closely with our teachers to support students. 
• All food for students is provided free of charge as part of our Healthy Food Program. Our full time chef caters for morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea for all students as well as breakfast for those who haven’t had a chance to have brekky at home in the mornings.
• Regular donations from Foodbank mean we are also able to provide food hampers for families who may be experiencing difficulties.
• Rumbalara Dental Services provide a free dental clinic at our school each term for Koorie students. T
• The Primary School Nurse visits annually and provides a free assessment for all Foundation students including hearing and vision checks.
• The Glasses For Kids team will visit to check our students eye sight and provide glasses where necessary.
• Our Koorie Education Support Officer (KESO) liaises with and supports our Indigenous families.
• We currently have eight Teacher Aides on staff who assist teachers in classrooms and provide extra learning support for students, both one on one and in small groups.
• We work with a number of community organisations to offer additional supports to students and their families as required. These include The Smith Family, Ganbina, Rumbalara, State Schools Relief, Orange Door and Lighthouse Project.
