Our Student Wellbeing

At St Joseph’s Primary School we prioritise the safety and happiness of our students and recognise that spiritual, physical and emotional wellbeing are pre-requisites for learning. 

We also recognise that successful learning experiences and academic progress are essential for our students’ wellbeing.

We support Student Wellbeing through:

The Resilience Project

St Joseph’s has recently introduced The Resilience Program (TRP) This programs aims to support positive mental health in the classroom, staffroom and the family home. Through this program we focus on Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness (GEM),ensuring that our students are exposed to positive learning to become emotionally resilient.  

We are able to introduce this program with the generosity of a grant from the Community Bank - Clifton Hill Fitzroy #PartneredByCommunityBankCliftonHillNorthFitzroy 

Social Emotional Learning Program

Our school is undertaking Respectful Relationships which is part of our Social / Emotional Learning Program.  This P-6 program sits well within the context of the Catholic tradition, Gospel values and our belief that each one of us has the ability to make a difference.

The program involves promoting respectful relationships through the topics of emotional literacy, personal strengths, positive coping, problem solving, stress management, help seeking, gender and identity, and positive gender relations.

Our program also compliments the strategies from the Berry Street Education Model which is utilised by our school.
