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.
- Dedicated Pastoral Care Program – Lesson each week dedicated to student wellbeing.
- School Counsellors are available four days a week to students.
- College partners with the Resilience Project – A researched-backed wellbeing platform for students, staff, and parents.
- A blended approach to Academic and Pastoral Care to ensure all students are happy, healthy, and academically thriving.
Our Pastoral Care
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 well-being for learning. Staff at Sydney Catholic Schools are committed to employing well-being strategies that allow for a healthy school environment where bullying is less likely to occur.
If your child is experiencing bullying of any kind, or you have a well-being concern, we have a number of support services available for parents/carers and students, as listed below.
