ST SCHOLASTICA'S COLLEGE
A CATHOLIC DAY AND BOARDING SCHOOL
FOR GIRLS YEARS 7 - 12
STUDENT WELLBEING
St Scholastica’s College invests substantially in the overall mental and physical wellbeing of its students. The team includes two full-time counsellors and six Heads of Year who know and understand the pressures that can build among girls and young women. They help students acquire and sustain the resilience and mental strength needed to maximise performance at school. Preventive strategies prevail but our Pastoral Care staff also work to identify problems early, and work in partnership with families to best support the students.
​
Heads of Year work with the College Counsellors, as required, to support students in the year group. For both parents and girls, the Heads of Years are important points of contact when issues arise that may affect a student's ability to participate in school life. The Heads of Year, Homeroom and class teachers and the Heads of Department collaborate to build positive relationships with the students.

CYBER SAFETY
Smart phones, personal tablets and the associated technology and internet sites are infinitely appealing and genuinely present opportunities in education and life. Our students are encouraged to take advantage of the technology both to advance their studies and to instil confidence in its use. Within that framework, cyber safety is an ever-present consideration and, at Schols, through a continuing program we aim to develop the students' sense of cyber citizenship in their engagement with technology.
​
Students do not have access to personal mobile phones during the school day and use their personal laptops when invited in the learning environment.
