Definition of Wellbeing

Wellbeing is a multi-faceted concept encompassing a person's physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social health. it affects how the girls think, feel and act. Wellbeing impacts on the girls' sense of self and belonging and on their ability to make safe, positive and health choices. Wellbeing enables students to develop the skills needed to grow into courageous, compassionate and respectful members of our School and wider community.

At ÌÇÐÄlogoÃ×·ÆÍà each student is supported to develop self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, social management, and responsible decision making whilst proactively managing challenges in pursuit of her goals and taking pride in her achievements.

Each girl is encouraged to develop an understanding of their sense of self, belonging and her emotions so that they can be regulated. We work collaboratively to develop her resilience, assist her in finding her place in the world through self-reflection, whilst developing a positive physical, social and mental state.
