At St Mary's College, we aim to:
- Provide safe environments where all students can learn, grow and flourish
- Create a whole school environment for positive relationships, learning and wellbeing
- Educate students in each of the social and emotional learning competencies: self-awareness, social awareness, self-management, relationship skills, responsible decision making
- Ensure that our approach to wellbeing expresses our Catholic Dominican ethos in its fullness, embracing our values of truth, justice and community
- Proactively support every student's wellbeing so that they can engage in learning
What is wellbeing?
Wellbeing is a state in which every individual realises their potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully and can contribute to the community. (WHO, 2014)
