The wellbeing of every student is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that personal wellbeing and strong, positive relationships are the foundation for each girl’s growth, learning and long-term success.
Through a proactive and holistic approach to pastoral care, we aim to equip every student with the skills, support and mindset needed to navigate life with resilience, purpose and confidence.
Our School Wellbeing Framework – CONNECT – is grounded in the principles of positive psychology and designed around six key themes: relationships, emotions, health, engagement, meaning and accomplishment. These themes shape our pastoral curriculum, which provides explicit teaching of social-emotional skills alongside real-life opportunities to practice them. Through carefully structured lessons and experiences, our students learn to build positive relationships, regulate emotions, solve social problems and strengthen their sense of self.
Working in partnership with families
We work in close partnership with families to support the individual needs of each student. Our psychologists and pastoral care team collaborate with staff and parents to nurture students’ mental, emotional and physical wellbeing — identifying early intervention strategies and providing tailored support where needed. Every student is known, valued and supported to flourish in her own unique way.
Evidence-based, age-appropriate programs
Our approach is informed by research and grounded in best-practice educational psychology. In the early years, programs such as Kimochis, PATHS (Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies), and Keeping Safe Protective Behaviours are embedded in the curriculum to foster emotional literacy, empathy and resilience. These age-appropriate programs support young students in understanding feelings, managing behaviour and developing healthy relationships from the very start.
Creating a culture of care and belonging
We are proud of our warm, inclusive and caring environment, where every student feels safe, respected and empowered. Our teachers understand the developmental journey of girls and tailor strategies accordingly, ensuring each stage of schooling builds the skills and mindsets necessary for future success. By nurturing positive relationships and emotional wellbeing from the earliest years, we help lay the foundation for confident learners and compassionate individuals.
