We believe that every student should feel safe and supported at school, and we work hard to prevent bullying from taking place. We have policies in place to address bullying behavior. We also provide training to students and staff to help them recognise and respond to any scenarios like this. Our school is incredibly blessed and has extremely low rates of anti-social behaviour.
We also run a peer support program. This program is designed to help students develop positive relationships with their peers and feel more connected to the school community. Peer support leaders are trained to provide emotional support and practical advice to their peers, and to help connect students with additional support when needed.
We have a trained School Counsellor who provides emotional support, guidance, and resources to students who may be struggling with a variety of issues. This could include anything from anxiety and stress to family problems. Our School Counselor is an integral part of our support team, and their presence ensures that our students have a safe and confidential space to work through any challenges they may be facing.
Finally, we see Christian formation as the key aspect to positive wellbeing. We have weekly chapel services and morning devotion time. This time provides students with the opportunity to reflect on their faith and connect with God before starting their day. It’s a chance to set a positive tone and to remind students of the values and principles that guide our school community.
