We encourage our students to share responsibility for their own and others’ wellbeing and to develop the capacity to be agents of their own wellbeing and learning.
We understand wellbeing as an equilibrium between the challenges an individual faces and the resources they have available to respond to those challenges. This equilibrium is holistic, encompassing the academic, physical, social, psychological and spiritual dimensions of life. Wellbeing is therefore not simply the absence of difficulty or the experience of positive emotions; rather, it involves developing the resources and capabilities needed to navigate the challenges that are a normal part of life.
Promoting wellbeing for students and staff is one of our key strategic priorities. In 2025, we launched our Learning Well framework, which brings together our Instructional Model, grounded in evidence-informed approaches to teaching and learning, and our Wellbeing Model. Together, these frameworks recognise the important relationship between learning and wellbeing and provide a shared approach to supporting individuals to develop throughout their school journey.
As a community, we seek to develop students’ capacity to understand, manage and take responsibility for their own wellbeing. This includes helping them develop the knowledge, skills, relationships and other resources they need to respond constructively to challenges, while recognising that wellbeing is individual, dynamic and shaped by the interaction between each person and their environment.
Peer Support
Peer support is an important part of our pastoral system. It starts with our buddy program in the Primary School, which pairs our youngest students with buddies in Years 4 to 6. Year 7 students from the Concordia Campus also regularly visit their younger buddies. This provides an important source of cross-campus collaboration and an opportunity for the older students to develop their leadership skills.
Similarly, the mentoring of Middle School students by Senior students helps to build ties across year levels. For our Senior students, involvement as Peer Support Leaders offers valuable experience in mentoring and leadership.
Restorative Practices
We use restorative practices to resolve behaviour issues and rifts in student relationships. We make every endeavour to resolve situations as they arise and restore a positive, respectful relationship between the parties involved.
