Social and Emotional Learning

Rosary School is a nationally recognised KidsMatter School.  KidsMatter Primary is an Australian initiative that aims to improve children’s mental health and wellbeing. It recognises the important role that parents and carers play in the lives of their children and encourages effective working relationships between school staff, parents and carers as well as the broader community.

Social and Emotional Learning is taught explicitly in each class, using the “Friendly Schools” program. An Action Team (staff and parents) meets regularly to assess our practices and policies in regard to student wellbeing.

At Rosary School, we are fortunate to have the support of a school counsellor and a school chaplain.  Both staff members are available one day per week and are accessible after a conversation with either the class teacher or a member of the leadership team.
