Student Wellbeing
The emphasis of wellbeing at St Edmund’s College is to strive to ensure that our students have good mental health, high life satisfaction, a sense of meaning or purpose, and the ability to manage stress. Wellbeing is fundamental to health, a person’s ability to overcome challenges and flourish in life. This is achieved by integrating our activities and programs within the academic and pastoral programs.
Good relationships are integral in supporting and improving the mental health of our students. The House system and Mentor Groups provide small communities within the School to establish closer bonds and a greater sense of identity. Our Identity Team team, House Deans and Counsellors also make available further layers of wellbeing support.
In the spirit of reconciliation, St Edmund’s College acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
