Wellbeing

St Paul’s Catholic College

Student Wellbeing  

St Paul’s follows and is directed by the principles and practices outlined in the Catholic Schools Wellbeing Policy and Learning Framework. Strategies and resources will be used at St Paul’s to provide successful learning, a safe and inclusive environment, and positive and caring relationships.

Students at St Paul’s are encouraged to grow and develop not only in their academic learning but also as citizens who are aware of and show consideration for others. Students are encouraged to adopt the core values of Compassion, Appreciation, Respect and Endurance to direct and inform their relationships within the school community. A strong sense of connection and belonging is fostered through the high expectations that are set at the college. This connection is centred around the trust that staff, students and families develop, and the consideration all give, to promoting the overall growth and maturity of students.

A Leader of Wellbeing and Engagement (LOWE) is assigned to each year group and is responsible for overseeing the general wellbeing and learning of the whole group and individuals within this group. The LOWE works closely with the Leaders of Learning (LOL) to maintain a high standard of classroom discipline which enables all students to achieve to their potential

Our CARE Program

The CARE matrix is built around four key values of Compassion, Appreciation, Respect and Endurance. These values are expected to be lived in action in our Learning, Social and Community spaces. These values are supported by the expectations outlined in the School Community Code of Conduct, the CSO Student Wellbeing Framework-Wellbeing Together and the Ten Principles of Catholic Social Teaching. A Positive Behaviour for Learning model and the multi-tiered system of support are used to support students with their academic, social, and emotional growth.
