Well-being or Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is about learning how to manage feelings, manage friendships and solve problems. These are essential life skills that support a child’s ability to cope with difficulties and helps prevent mental health problems. Children who develop social and emotional skills find it easier to manage themselves, relate to others, resolve conflict, and feel positive about themselves and the world around them.

At St. Theresa’s we endeavour to promote a healthy, supportive, safe and happy environment for staff, students and parents. Social and Emotional Learning is a framework that underpins everything we do at St Theresa’s. It is embedded in our culture.

Our school mantra ‘Be Happy, Be Safe, Be Caring, Be Ready To Learn ‘ensures that every child at St Theresa’s learns different strategies and programs to build their resilience. Some of these include: Bounceback program, SEL skills, Buddy Program, Positive Mindsets, Bluearth, CASEA Program, Transition Programs and Mindfulness.
