St Kevin’s College is built on a foundation that promotes student wellbeing and a safe and secure learning environment that challenges, encourages and supports all students. Our staff provide a caring and supportive community that enables students to acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
Education
It is key for our students to learn through frameworks and programs.
Our primary school students have weekly social emotional learning program. Secondary students are engaged in pastoral lessons with four key themes as focus; respectful relationships, learning strategies, digital citizenship and social emotional learning. These are developed by pastoral leaders and delivered in the tutor group environment
Groups and Action
Alongside the teaching, students are involved in awareness raising and days of action to promote wellbeing - days include RUOK? Day and Wear it Purple Day where students are encouraged to feel a sense of belonging and connection.
We have student leadership groups that provide agency for students and allow young people to have a voice in how the school can best support their learning and growth. Groups such as KPAC, Games Club and Book Club are put together to allow students to share ideas, create change and be involved in community.
School Counsellors
St Kevin’s College is committed to offering care and counsel through the School Counselling Service. The service includes registered Psychologists, who are specialists trained in clinical, educational and developmental psychology.
The College Counsellors offer confidential support and information to students and their parents/guardians. This is generally short-term, individual counselling support delivered in a therapeutic, safe space that is free from judgment.
The College Counsellors are also involved in delivering information sessions for a variety of social and emotional topics to students, teachers and parents. These sessions are designed to supplement the academic curriculum in important areas and facilitate optimal social and emotional development. Students are taught about topics such as mental health, accessing support, sleep, and maintaining a balanced life and good mental health.
Further information for existing parents, including resources and support for students and parents concerning mental health and wellbeing, can be found on the College portal via the Student Wellbeing Hub.
