Student Wellbeing
Excel in a nurturing space
Guided by our Faith
At La Salle College, we are committed to nurturing the holistic development of every member of our community, in alignment with our vision of transforming tomorrow’s Hearts, Minds, and Lives.
Grounded in the Lasallian tradition, guided by the values of faith, service, and excellence, we believe that the wellbeing of each student and staff member is central to their success, not only academically and professionally, but in their broader life journey.Â
A holistic approach
Our Wellbeing Framework emphasises the interconnection between academic learning, emotional wellbeing, and spiritual growth. Informed by Trauma Informed Practices, the CEWA Strategic Wellbeing Framework, CEWA Child Safe Framework, and Positive Psychology’s PERMA+ model of wellbeing, our wellbeing framework underscores our commitment to fostering environments where all community members can flourish.
Wellbeing is synergistic with learning, with wellbeing both facilitating and predicting academic achievement. When students feel good, have their psychological and social needs met, and are situated in environments that promote a wellbeing culture, they will be more ready to learn, function better as a learner, and benefit academically (CEWA Strategic Wellbeing Framework).
At La Salle College, we are dedicated to nurturing the holistic development of our students and staff, recognising that their wellbeing encompasses various dimensions. Our approach, from a trauma informed lens, focuses on working with students’ personal strengths to help them succeed. This approach revolves around three key domains: Hearts, Minds and Lives. Through these domains, we aim to create a culture that allows all people to flourish.
A sense of belonging
From your initial interaction with our College, we aspire to make you feel welcomed and valued as part of our community. Our Year 7 transition program offers students the support and foundation to have a positive high school transition and school experience.
Our College Houses create opportunities for students to participate in activities and connect with students across all year groups, often taking part in team building and sporting activities together at carnivals and school events.
Our Pastoral Care Groups (PCGs) are created within each year group and come together briefly each morning to receive news and updates. These groups are particularly important in Year 7, to create safe and reliable environments within which students can develop friendships and receive support from staff and peers.
