At St Mary’s, we are committed to nurturing the growth of all students’ social and emotional well-being.
Through a positive behaviour framework, our learners receive explicit teaching and learning focused on Resilience, Rights, and Respectful Relationships (RRRR). St Mary’s social and emotional curriculum, aligned with the Victorian Curriculum, equips learners with the skills to understand themselves and others, build healthy relationships, and navigate life, work, and learning effectively. This learning enables learners to regulate emotions, develop empathy, and strengthen social connections, supporting their ability to engage in positive interactions, collaborate effectively in teams, and respond to challenges with respect and resilience. The RRRR program helps learners develop problem-solving skills, emotional literacy, and strategies for respectful conflict resolution, reinforcing a culture of inclusion and well-being. St Mary’s uses formative and summative data to meet the needs of the school community and strives to provide educational opportunities to both learners and families, ensuring we are working to create a well and positive community. St Mary’s recognises that a healthy community allows learning and progress for all.
