Student Wellbeing

Our Student Wellbeing program is comprehensive and supports our students’ wellbeing, values and culture, creating a positive environment in which our staff and students can learn and work.

We 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.

Some of the ways in which we support individual students include:

• Offering a broad and comprehensive range of activities and extra-curricular opportunities to give all students the opportunity to develop a sense of pride and feeling of success.
• Good Beginnings program: transitions all students into the new year, focussing on developing positive relationships with one another.
• Implementing KidsMatter as our overarching well-being framework.
• Providing supportive, caring and inspiring environments that are appropriate to individual student’s learning needs and abilities.
• Providing all our students with positive role models, mentoring opportunities and support in forming meaningful relationships to assist them through their school lives.
• Offering many leadership opportunities to students at all levels.
• Providing access to our School Chaplain.
• Every child is involved in programs such as Program Achieve, KidsMatter, Good Beginnings and Restorative Justice.

At Our Lady Queen of Peace we implement 'Program Acheive' program as part of our social and emotional wellbeing for our students.  We explicitly teach the skills and knowledge that students need to apply to their everyday lives to deal with conflict resolution, making friendships, managing their feelings and being successful in achieving their goals.
