Our Student Well-being Program is the commitment Saint David’s School makes to the total health, comfort and happiness of our students and to the education and development of the ‘whole child’. In this ‘whole child’ approach we recognise that each and every child within our care deserves to be safe, healthy, engaged, encouraged and challenged.
The core aims are to ensure that we are providing an environment that is welcoming, respectful, safe and healthy for the whole school community. We promote inclusion and celebrate diversity, where everyone feels like they belong.
Some of the different ways that we cater to individual student well-being includes:
Activities using the Child Protection Program
We respect the uniqueness of each individual and family situation within our community.
We celebrate diversity with our families coming from various cultural backgrounds, family groups and economic situations.
As a Catholic school, we have a deep belief in the value of community and our responsibility to show kindness and respect to each other.
We have a counsellor available one day a week to work in partnership with students, teachers and parents to enhance students’ social and emotional wellbeing.
Our counselling service is available to all of our students. Counsellors provide personal and confidential counselling to students who attend voluntarily in a 1:1 school setting. Students may ask to attend the counsellor themselves or may be referred to see the counselor by the Principal, teaching staff or parents. Parental consent is required for all students.
