Wellbeing Programme

Our curriculum offers a skills-based wellbeing programme using the most current resources, best practices and engaging activities to include a variety of student choices and learning styles.

We aim to create a relevant, collaborative and meaningful program which involves a variety of guest speakers and community partners to help bring life to a variety of health issues.

“Our goal is to prepare the students to understand themselves and others so they can access valid information, set goals, make informed choices, analyse influences and advocate for both themselves and others. “
