Student Services & Wellbeing

ACE is committed to valuing the dignity of every member of our community. Staff lead by example, demonstrating that all students are equally valued and providing them with the support and respect they need to develop confidence, resilience and stamina. This results in the creation of an atmosphere of trust, respect and concern for others.

ACE provides comprehensive support for students who require additional assistance to help them to overcome obstacles that may be preventing them from actively and successfully engaging in appropriate learning.

We believe that student welfare is a shared responsibility between ACE, home and the community and we encourage all young people attending to engage with the student support team. This can either be done through self-referral or teacher referral in consultation with parents and guardians.
