Student Wellbeing
The wellbeing of every child at Pulteney is a whole-school priority, and wellbeing is central to the Pulteney experience. Pulteney is an inclusive community. Each person is valued and encouraged to grow and to challenge themselves.
As a school, we recognise our role in developing the social and emotional skills of each student, whilst supporting each student emotionally, physically, intellectually and spiritually. Equally, staff, families and students understand the important role each person plays in the support of the School’s culture and our students’ safety.
From the Early Learning Centre through to Year 12, students are provided with specialist lessons and programs centered on these seven wellbeing attributes.
More on the seven attributes:
Aspirational wellbeing
Students are supported to become optimistic young people, to be aware of their capacity and of the possibilities in their life, to dream and plan for the future.
Cognitive wellbeing
Students cultivate self-awareness, to be wise and confident decision makers and understand how to learn effectively and think critically.
Emotional wellbeing
Students develop the capacity to become resilient and resourceful with the capability to exercise self-control and manage a range of powerful feelings and develop positive coping strategies.
Moral wellbeing
Strong community values, modelled on inclusion, empathy, compassion, justice and fairness, are fostered in students. Students are in turn empowered with the integrity and confidence required to be accountable for their individual choices.
Physical wellbeing
Students develop habits that enable long-term health and safety and enjoy the benefits that come with being physically healthy.
Social wellbeing
Students learn how to build and grow positive relationships in diverse contexts.
Spiritual wellbeing
Students are part of a community shaped by the deepest meanings and values through which people choose to live their fullest expression of their humanity.
