Approach to Student Wellbeing

The Riverina Anglican College has a history and tradition of being a caring, nurturing and academic environment.

Student and staff wellbeing is a key priority for The Riverina Anglican College. All members of the school community have the right to enjoy a safe and positive environment that promotes respect, learning and acceptance. 

As educators of tomorrow's leaders we recognise the valuable contribution we make in the lives of our students who are resilient and have a connection with life’s journey and a global perspective. 

At The Riverina Anglican College:

  • Learning takes place in a safe and supportive environment.
  • Personal possessions and School property are treated with care and respect.
  • School values are upheld by the wider community.
  • A Christian ethos underpins our interactions.
  • Bullying and harassment are not tolerated.
  • We embrace diversity, foster inclusion and celebrate our capacity to make a difference in the world
