The life of an All Hallows’ student is multi-dimensional and our students come together in a community in which wellbeing, positive relationships, connections and resilience are nurtured.
Our vertical House system invites each student to be part of a person centred and inclusive community. Our commitment to ensuring success for all of our students is through a holistic education and is supported by the delivery of an explicit wellbeing curriculum led by our Heads of House, that is mapped to our students’ needs. Our “Fit 4 Life” program focusses on building social and emotional skills with an emphasis on how this relates to being a learner and a good citizen.
We also place a high priority on academic care, encouraging positive relationships and opportunities for meaningful participation and contribution that foster, develop and nurture student learning. An All Hallows’ girl is encouraged to be a self-leader and a supporter of every All Hallows’ girl. Your daughter will feel welcomed and valued, allowing her to be the best she can be.
“Our actions should always be guided by love and compassion”Catherine McAuley
Wellbeing is inextricably linked to successful learning, personal achievement, social competence and emotional resilience. Schools play a key role in the promotion of positive mental health within the wider community.
Students who are positive, resilient, hopeful, aware of the contribution they can make in the world and successful in creating meaningful relationships are best placed to achieve positive learning outcomes, to be the best version of themselves and to be fit for life.
Student Wellbeing
Student Wellbeing Framework
The All Hallows’ School Student Wellbeing Framework is a holistic, values-driven approach that supports students’ physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development. Anchored in our Mercy values of Respect, Integrity, Compassion, Service, Justice, and Joy, it integrates pastoral care provided through the House system, student voice initiatives, a tailored wellbeing curriculum and positive behaviour strategies.
The Student Wellbeing Framework provides multiple opportunities to develop the attributes of the Student Formation Framework by promoting qualities such as connection, resilience, curiosity, and critical thinking throughout every facet of the school environment.
