At St Paul Apostle North our Wellbeing program is underpinned by our Catholic Faith and it is at the forefront of all that we do. We believe that each person’s wellbeing is nurtured by experiences of belonging, building relationships with others, feeling safe and supported and by engaging in positive partnerships within the school community and beyond. We promote the values of Compassion, Respect and Responsibility and are committed to providing opportunities for all members of the school community to develop these values by striving to be people who make a difference to their local and global communities. 

In addition to our values and philosophies that promote wellbeing, we have several wellbeing initiatives that we are proud of. 

These include:

• Promoting and teaching our values of Respect, Care and Responsibility

• A whole school, restorative approach to behaviour management

• Implementing the Child Safe Standards

• Catholic Leadership Program - Our Grade 3/4 and 5/6 students take ownership of their school experience by implementing 21st Century skills and the Catholic Social Teachings in real life situations. This includes creating solutions to problems, designing and organising special events, representing our school in the wider community such as visiting our local kindergartens and aged care facility. 

• Berry Street Education Model and Respectful Relationships - Our staff build strong, trusting relationships with our students and teach them the skills to manage their emotions, problem solve, break down stereotypes and work with others. 

• Pastoral Care Program - We offer students additional Social and Emotional support through small groups and one-on-one sessions. 

• Whole school routines and expectations

• Lunch time inclusion programs
