STUDENT WELLBEING

ALL CHILDREN CAN ACHIEVE SUCCESS

Student Wellbeing refers to a state of positive social and emotional functioning - an ethos which underpins and is reflective of St. Justin’s school motto ‘All Students Can Achieve Success’. Wellbeing is a feature of our school - we aim to provide a safe, respectful and engaging learning environment in which the children in our care are provided with a range of opportunities to learn, practise and apply social and emotional competencies in order to enhance and support their personal and interpersonal development.

 

As part of The Resilience Project, we encourage the principles of GEM - gratitude, empathy and mindfulness, and all students have lessons each week focusing on these key messages.  Other initiatives include: 

  • The Resilience Project

  • Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships

  • ‘Play Pals’ (Social skills – play based activities)

  • Therapy dogs on the premises

LEARNING DIVERSITY

IDENTIFYING & ASSISTING ALL STUDENTS

St. Justin’s identifies and assists all students who require adjustment and additional remediation and/or extension support on the learning continuum. Commitment to the individual learning needs of our students is reflected in our programs, resources and interventions which support students from Prep - 6. Specialist teachers and support staff provide personalised learning programs for those students who require additional remediation, extension in literacy and/or numeracy.

​

Program support include:

  • Reading Recovery

  • Life Skills

  • Levelled Literacy Intervention

  • Personalised Learning Plans

  • Learning Support Officers

 

Allied consultancy such as Speech Pathology, Psychology and School Advisors are provided through the CEM (Catholic Education Melbourne), as well as additional service provision from external support agencies.
