Students
Student Services
At Bullsbrook College we want all members of our school community to feel that they are welcome and that they belong. Our goal is that our students have a positive schooling experience and leave school with the capability and focus to live personally fulfilling lives. Our Student Services team is dedicated to providing a holistic approach to student care and is supported by some special team members.
School Psychologist
The School Psychology Service delivers specialist assessment, intervention, and consultation services to help schools meet the academic, behavioural, and emotional needs of their students. Our School Psychologist is a vital member of the Student Services Team, collaborating closely with school administrators, teachers, parents, and other professionals to foster safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments that strengthen connections between home, school, and the community.
Our School Psychologist is employed by the North Metropolitan Education Region and is allocated to our school five days a week. Following the school-based referral process, a member of the Student Services team will contact the parents of referred students to invite them to a case conference, where they can provide consent for the School Psychologist to support their child.
If you have any concerns about your child, please contact the school directly so that appropriate supports can be put in place. Please note that this service is not intended for immediate crisis support. For urgent assistance, you can contact:

- Lifeline: 13 11 14
- Kids Helpline: 1800 55 1800
Chaplain
The Chaplain is a vital part of the Student Services team, building positive relationships with students, staff and the local community. The Chaplain is available to help in times of need or crisis offering care and support through counselling and mentoring, including assisting students who are bullied, isolated, or experiencing difficult times including anxiety, family breakdown, illness and loss.
School Nurse
Our School Nurse provides health promotion and prevention as part of our Student Services team to support the health and wellbeing needs of our students. The School Nurse may be involved in supporting the development of health related curriculum and policy, the delivery of health education in partnership with teachers, and the delivery of individual and group programs for students.
Year Coordinators
Our Year Coordinators provide academic support, monitoring and assist with the welfare of all students within their year cohort. They work with the teachers to ensure that the school environment is a safe, pleasant and positive experience for the students in that year level.
House System
A major part of the Pastoral Care Program at Bullsbrook College is our House System. The school has four Houses that represent four key parts of the Bullsbrook area.
They are the:
The Avon River flows through National Parks only a few kilometres from our school.
The Darling Scarp is a low escarpment also known as the Darling Ranges. A famous local bushranger known as Moondyne Joe hid in the bushland in the Darling Scarp in the 1860s.
The RAAF Base Pearce is a prominent feature of the town of Bullsbrook and only a few minutes’ walk from the school.
The beautiful Walyunga National Park is only a few minutes drive south of the school and is accessed by our students for canoeing and walking.
The House System is a major vehicle for promoting student excellence and achievement in the school. Students earn House Points by participating in events, being positive contributors in the school yard and also in the classroom. House activities are held regularly. A highlight of the school calendar is our House Athletics Carnival held in September of each year.
On each campus, the winning House each term is rewarded, as well as each Semester. The winning House for the year across the whole school is rewarded by being named the Champion House and attending a Reward Function.
Each House has a staff Leader on each campus and these Leaders are assisted by student House Leaders on each campus.
