We commit to providing safe and supportive environments which nurture the wellbeing of all students and staff in our community, and hold firmly to the belief that they have a right to be safe, respected and valued in an inclusive environment. We know that when students are happy, they are more engaged with their learning.
Schools benefit from wellbeing initiatives and pastoral care support through Sydney Catholic Schools – in areas such as anti-bullying, positive behaviour, student counselling, refugee support and child protection – which range from universal support for all students, to targeted interventions for students with complex social and emotional needs.
We strive to achieve peace, acceptance and inclusiveness within our school community. We focus on a Positive Education Framework which underpins every aspect of school life. The SMILE Strategy, Mind Up Program and a dedicated Student Wellbeing Program Kindergarten to Year Six.
A school counsellor is also available one-and-a-half days a fortnight to give support to students in need.
Students are constantly reminded through our SMILE strategy of values that will assist them to come responsible members of our community.
S = smile
M = make good choices
I = include God in your day
L = learn as much as you can
E = enjoy being you
Sydney Catholic Schools rejects all forms of bullying behaviours, including online (or cyber) bullying, by maintaining a commitment to providing safe, inclusive and respectful learning communities that promote student wellbeing for learning.
