In 2020 a leading youth psychologist created our WISE wellbeing framework, based on the OECD Future of Education and Skills and the science of positive psychology. The WISE model centres on the idea of student agency and student wellbeing as being central in allowing students to thrive and flourish in educational settings and is seamlessly integrated into the college’s Personal Development Program (PDP).

The WISE Wellbeing Framework brings together core wellbeing themes and integrates them into a common framework. A brief descriptor of each element follows:

WARM Hearts – Nurturing students’ empathy, compassion for others and instil a sense of gratitude within an inclusive school culture.

INSPIRED Futures – Developing independent learners who hold self-efficacy for their learning and can engage in purposeful goal setting. It encourages students to develop their own agency and become an active participant in their learning journey.

STRONG Minds – Fostering a sense of adaptability. Promotes students’ curiosity, both about themselves and others. It is about understanding and developing the capacity to manage emotions in a regulated and healthy way.

ENGAGED Beings – Promoting active engagement in academic classes, cocurricular activities, leadership roles and healthy and respectful relationships leads to an increased sense of belonging for students.

The success of this program is attributed to the dedication of our College mentors, Heads of Year, Deputy Heads of Year, teaching staff, cocurricular programs, counsellors, and the implementation of extensive wellbeing initiatives and guest speakers across the College.

At 草莓视频 we are geared towards empowering every student to reach their full potential. Recognising that each student holds unique talents, interests, experiences, and learning styles.

A dedicated mentor teacher will guide your child at each stage of their school journey, from orientation to Year 12 exams. Mentors monitor both academic and personal progress, forming strong partnerships with parents. Mentors encourage student self-management, challenge comfort zones, promote positivity and fostering a supportive environment where students can excel.

In the Junior School, our teachers double as mentors, fostering a supportive environment that encourages individual risk-taking and growth. They have a high level of interaction with their students each day and can monitor their progress throughout the year.

Students in Years 5, 6 and Middle School are guided by a mentor specific to each year level. Middle Years mentors hold a special understanding of age and stage development, offering parents support and advice during what can be a tricky and fast changing time for adolescents.

Senior School mentors accompany a student on their journey across Years 10, 11 and 12, fostering a special bond and a high level of individual support throughout their time in the senior years. Senior School mentors conduct regular meetings with students, monitoring stress management and academic performance, they maintain close communication with parents to ensure each student receives personalised support.

Effective mentoring hinges on strong connections between staff, students, and parents. Our mentors understand each student’s individuality, fostering a supportive and personalised approach that enables every 草莓视频 student to thrive.

Restorative practices at the College involve pastoral leaders working with students to help them acknowledge conflict, take responsibility for their actions and find constructive resolutions. Through informal and formal discussions, parties seek agreement to repair harm and prevent future issues.

Our counselling team also helps students communicate effectively, listen actively, and cultivate friendships.

Restorative practices teach students to respect diverse perspectives, treat others respectfully, and support wellbeing through positive behaviour. Overall, we prioritise building a supportive community where conflicts are addressed constructively and relationships are nurtured.

Our College Chaplain, Reverend Judith Watkins, offers pastoral care to students, families and staff with a particular focus on supporting the nurture and development of the spiritual dimension. A dedicated Sacred Space is available at the College for conversation and reflection. Inclusive chapels are held during the year, providing opportunities for students to reflect on issues that are relevant to them, through the lens of their own spiritual life, beliefs and values. Whole school chapel services are held for events such as Easter, Christmas and Valedictory.

Our chaplaincy and social action programs encourage our students to contemplate their beliefs and gain valuable insights into the beliefs of others. We explore the significance of religion in a global context.

Through our deep commitment to service and social action, we provide our students with educational experiences and opportunities that enable them to look beyond their own circumstances and engage with the needs of others on a local, national and international level.
