Student Wellbeing

Student Wellbeing in Junior School

In the Junior School, student wellbeing is monitored in partnership between students, staff and parents, ensuring a consistent and supportive approach that promotes each child’s sense of safety, belonging and emotional growth.

This is supported through:

• our wellbeing hub and inside passive play spaces, which provide students with safe and supportive areas to access during break times
• regular teacher check-ins, and strong, ongoing communication between teachers and parents that builds on positive relationships and ensures concerns are addressed proactively
• the use of structured wellbeing programs and social-emotional learning activities within classrooms

Student Wellbeing in Secondary School

In the Secondary School, students engage in a sequence of themes and topics across the year that develop their understanding of themselves, their relationships and their role within the community. For example, within a term focus on relationships, students explore how to manage conflict, reflect on their own responses and practise strategies for communicating effectively with others.

This work is organised around four key areas of development:

• building the capacity to respond to challenge and persist when learning becomes difficult
• developing awareness of self, including habits, mindset and decision-making
• strengthening relationships through respect, empathy and effective communication
• using initiative and judgement to act independently and contribute to the wider community

These areas are developed through mentor group sessions, classroom learning and shared experiences across the College, with families reinforcing these habits and expectations beyond the classroom.

External presenters are incorporated deliberately within the program. Each engagement aligns with current themes and connects to ongoing learning, ensuring it strengthens and extends existing work rather than sitting as a standalone experience.
