GenSTAR is a whole-school wellbeing program that enables students to develop resilience, think for peak performance, and develop skills for a safe, healthy and positive approach to life. The program is sequenced to be age-appropriate and covers the National Wellbeing Framework topics: Building Positive Relationships, Protecting Against Bullying, Healthy Mind and Body, Being Safe Online, Safe and Responsible Choices, and Respecting Diversity. In addition, GenSTAR provides education in Performance Psychology, My Place in the World and Beyond, FCJ Charism, and Study Skills.
Learning Diversity supports student learning so that all students have access to a positive learning environment. Gifted and talented students are supported with faster pace, independent, self-paced study, complex and open-ended tasks, meaningful application, and depth of content. The Learning Diversity Team works with parents/guardians, teachers, Team Leaders, the Performance Psychology Department, career adviser, College nurse and community support agencies to support each student's potential, pathways for future learning, inclusivity, differentiation and a positive approach to learning. Internal and external programs are accessed to support learning.
Genazzano provides mental health support through the Performance Psychology Centre, offering confidential counselling, mental health assessment and treatment, and referrals to external health care providers.

The college operates GenSTAR to promote wellbeing across the school and maintains a pastoral care system with homeroom and classroom teachers, Team Leaders, and a wellbeing-focused environment for senior students, with additional support for boarding students. Parent seminars and collaboration with families are part of the wellbeing approach.
