Wellbeing

At our school, student wellbeing and learning go hand in hand. We want every student to feel safe, included and ready to learn. Whether your child needs help with their mental, emotional, social or physical wellbeing, we are here to help them thrive at school and in daily life.

How we support student wellbeing

Supporting each student’s mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing is part of everyday school life.

We do this through:

Life Skills Go

Life Skills GO is an interactive, evidence-based online platform used by our school to build children's social, emotional, and physical life skills.

Students check in each day in a safe environment to gauge their readiness to learn.

Class teachers can view student check in data and reach out to students who are distressed to offer support.

Students develop the skills to recognise their own emotional state.

Teachers and students are given opportunities to help improve their emotional wellbeing through mindfulness activities, brain breaks, and conversas

Grow Your Mind

At our school, we believe that education is not only about academic achievement, but also about developing well-rounded individuals who can navigate the complexities of life. We knowthat when children have the skills of resilience, emotional regulation and perspective, they will do better socially, academically and physically. With the Grow Your Mind program, we aim to provide our students with the tools and resources they need to thrive in all areas of their lives.

Why the animals? Why the brain? And why Grow Your Mind?

The animals are a playful and engaging way to teach children about their brains and some of the core functions. Linking social and emotional wellbeing habits to the brain provides purpose and sparks a child’s interest in topics that may otherwise cause a yawn or eye roll! E.g. gratitude, exercise, healthy friendships, and managing conflict are just a few examples.
