Supporting Every Child’s Wellbeing
Your child is part of a caring and connected community where wellbeing and learning go hand in hand. We believe that when children feel safe and supported, they are free to grow, explore and reach their full potential. With access to a Speech Therapist, Occupational Therapist and a team of dedicated College Psychologists right on campus, students receive consistent support in a familiar and nurturing environment. Learning Support Officers also work closely with students at all levels to ensure every child feels seen, supported and empowered to thrive.
Collaboration is key to creating a safe and nurturing environment. Our psychologists work closely with the College Nurse, reception staff, the Deputy Principal – Mission and Pastoral Care and other senior leaders to ensure every child feels secure and supported.
