Flexible Support for Real Life – How We're Partnering With You

At Bethany, we know that life doesn’t follow a perfect script. Children develop in their own time, families face different challenges, and support looks different for everyone.

That’s why we’re committed to offering flexible, responsive support — not just through what we do internally, but through the trusted partnerships we’ve built around us.

This term, that includes:

• A school-based visiting psychologist, providing in-house support for students — helping us respond to emotional and behavioural needs in real time.
• A counsellor working with selected students and families, partnering with us to support children who need a little extra care.
• A strong, ongoing relationship with an experienced occupational therapist, supporting physical, sensory, and emotional regulation goals.
• Speech and OT screening in Prep and Year 1 — so families can gain early insight and act quickly when needed.
• A wide network of allied health professionals — including speech pathologists, OTs, mental health professionals, and physiotherapists — who work with students during school hours, onsite, so that families don’t have to navigate long waitlists or time off work.

These partnerships are a vital part of our approach to learning and wellbeing. They allow us to:

• Meet children where they’re at.
• Support families with less stress.
• Create shared goals between teachers and therapists.
• Bring care and intervention into the flow of daily life — rather than asking families to carry it alone.

As we move toward the launch of the Bethany Thrive Hive in the coming years, we are building on this foundation — with a vision to provide even more wraparound care through co-located allied health, counselling, and intervention services right here on campus.

This is what Life looks like when we respond with flexibility, purpose, and love.
