We commit to providing safe and supportive environments which nurture the wellbeing of all students and staff in our community, and hold firmly to the belief that all students and staff have a right to be safe, respected and valued in an inclusive environment. We know that when students are happy, they are more engaged in their learning.
Schools benefit from wellbeing and pastoral care support and initiatives through Sydney Catholic Schools – in areas such as anti-bullying, positive behaviour, student counselling, refugee support and child protection – which range from universal support for all students, to targeted interventions for students with complex social and emotional needs.
At All Hallows Catholic Primary School Five Dock, we have a growth mindset and encourage students to always strive for their best, persevere and experience success. Guided by our Catholic values, students are taught to solve problems using restorative justice practises.
A variety of programs are led by trained staff on mindfulness (DotBe), grief and loss (Seasons for Growth) and Be You Resource (Mental Health & Wellbeing).
We are proud to be recognised in the community and participate in initiatives that nurture a sense of school pride and belonging. An example of this was attaining first place in the Community Spirit Award from Wests Ashfield Leagues Club. This award empowered students to be agents of change and make a difference in our world.
