Student Wellbeing
St Alipius implements a whole school approach to Student Wellbeing with programs such as Peaceful Kids and the Respectful Relationships Curriculum, delivered across all year levels.
Peaceful Kids program
|
The 'Peaceful Kids' program is a Mindfulness and Positive Psychology based program to lessen anxiety and stress and increase resilience in children from Prep through to Year 12. This program helps children to build their emotional resilience so they are better equipped to deal with the day to day stresses that life brings them.
At St Alipius the Peaceful Kids program is conducted by our trained Pastoral Care educator, Suzie Sullivan. Suzie also runs Peaceful Parent sessions, which informs and skills parents on how to use strategies explored in the Peaceful Kids program so they can also be used at home. This is a great way to develop strong home-school partnerships. To find out more, visit https://www.peacefulkids.com.au/ |

Social & Emotional Learning
At St Alipius Parish Primary School, we prioritise the holistic development of our students, recognizing the profound impact of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) on their overall well-being. At the core of our commitment to holistic student development is the integration of the Respectful Relationships program at St Alipius Parish Primary School. This comprehensive initiative is a key part of our curriculum, fostering a positive and inclusive school culture. The program is designed to empower students with the necessary skills to navigate interpersonal relationships with empathy, kindness, and respect. Through age-appropriate activities, discussions, and resources, we aim to equip our students with the emotional intelligence and social competence needed for a harmonious and supportive community. The Respectful Relationships program at St Alipius not only contributes to academic success but also cultivates a foundation for lifelong skills that enable our students to thrive in diverse and ever-changing social landscapes.
