  Sakeelah Bangura

  Hi My name Keelah I am the student wellbeing lead , I believe that a healthy, supportive environment allows students to thrive academically and personally. In this role, I take responsibility for ensuring that students feel heard, valued, and have access to the resources they need, whether that’s mental health services, stress management tools, or simply a safe space to talk. By advocating for their wellbeing and fostering a culture of openness and support, I aim to create an environment where students feel empowered to seek help and develop resilience. My commitment is to regularly assess the needs of the student body and collaborate with others to implement strategies that address those needs, ensuring everyone can flourish both emotionally and mentally.

  As a school home support practitioner, my role is crucial in promoting the well-being of students and their families. By building strong relationships, I focus on establishing trust and open communication with students and their families. This approach ensures that Arco, as a caring educational establishment, recognises each student’s unique differences and can better understand and address their individual needs and concerns effectively.

  I assist families by connecting them with community resources such as mental health services, food banks, and housing assistance to alleviate external stressors that affect their child's well-being. I collaborate with all staff members to foster a nurturing and inclusive school environment where students feel safe and valued. I also promote family involvement in school activities and decision-making processes to strengthen the home-school connection and support their child's academic success and personal development. Additionally, I work closely with teachers to identify and support students facing academic or personal challenges, ensuring they receive tailored interventions and support.

  I organise and facilitate workshops to help families develop healthy communication and conflict resolution skills, fostering a supportive home environment. I take pride in my efforts to enhance the overall well-being of students and their families, contributing to a more positive and productive educational experience and personal growth.
