Wellbeing affects most aspects of a child’s capacity to thrive and is an important factor that impacts learning and development outcomes.

Our students take part in learning activities and programs designed to build their knowledge of strategies to grow their resilience, self-confidence and relationship skills as part of the School’s Care program.ÌýÌý

Contributing to the positive care experience of Primary students happens daily at St Stephen’s School. Teachers and support staff encourage the development and strengthening of support networks for students with a range of learning experiences in-class, across year groups and within Houses. Students are equipped with strategies, peer and staff supports to build positive friendships and relationships as they progress through School.Ìý

Our House system creates a sense of belonging for staff and students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12. Students are assigned to a House upon enrolment and remain in the same House throughout their schooling which aligns with the School’s community approach.Ìý

Students go through a range of emotional and developmental stages during their schooling, and we understand each requires a different approach and understanding.Ìý
