Wellbeing

We have developed an evidence-based wellbeing framework which is mapped across all stages of learning from Years 5 to 12. The framework helps students to flourish across our five wellbeing dimensions: cognitive, social, emotional, physical and spiritual. 

We are committed to developing a positive classroom environment that supports the learning of all students. It is important that each student feels that they are known, valued and cared for as an individual.

We know that students who feel connected to each other, their families and the wider community, find greater purpose and meaning in their lives, and importantly, have the best outcomes at school. 

We Value Equity in Education

At ÂÜÀòÉç we believe in equality, appreciate diversity, and value inclusion. Equity in education means providing all students, regardless of their background, abilities and preferences, with the teaching and learning resources they need to be successful.

Vertical House Structure

Throughout their ÂÜÀòÉç journey students belong to one of our eight Houses. Each House is led by a Head of House, who is based in our Wellbeing Centre. Our Heads of House nurture House spirit and help to create a safe and supportive environment. 

On-Campus Health and Wellbeing Specialists

We have three registered psychologists based on campus to support students and their families, as well as a College nurse who manages our Health Centre.

All staff at the College, both teaching and non-teaching, have completed Mental Health First Aid Training through Mental Health First Aid Australia.

All staff have been upskilled and equipped with the knowledge and skills to recognise mental health problems, and to confidently provide the appropriate support to someone who may be developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis.

ÂÜÀòÉç is currently one of only two schools in NSW and the first Catholic school in NSW to achieve a Gold level recognition certification.
