Our SEL program is delivered through a range of activities and initiatives. Every second Friday, our Homeroom teachers conduct SEL lessons, which cover topics such as Emotional Literacy, Personal Strengths, Positive Coping, Problem-solving, Stress Management, Help-seeking, Gender & Identity, and Positive Gender Relations. These lessons are aimed at promoting respect, positive attitudes, and behaviours, as well as teaching our students how to build healthy relationships, resilience, and confidence.
We also collaborate with our Health and Physical Education faculty to create and implement specialised units for students in Years 7-10, and hold dedicated events such as R U OK? Day to raise awareness about mental health and wellbeing. We have also introduced Wellbeing tasks within the St Bernard's Student Diary to encourage our students to reflect on their emotions and take steps to care for their mental health.
