Launceston Church Grammar School

The school has a wellbeing framework that underpins a positive wellbeing culture. It is underpinned by five drivers: Agency, purpose, connection, thinking and engagement. The framework guides teaching, planning, interactions and daily operations. A Director of Student Wellbeing leads the wellbeing program at the Senior Campus. The Pastoral House System, Chaplaincy and Service, and Health Services provide ongoing pastoral and holistic support. The school emphasises a strong home–school partnership to support student wellbeing.

Launceston Grammar provides Learning Enrichment to respond to each student's academic, social, emotional and physical needs. The Learning Support environment is flexible and caring. Students who require adjustments in teaching and learning, communication, social-emotional well-being, participation or attendance receive Personalised Learning Plans. These plans are collaboratively developed with the Head of School Student Support, the student's teachers, parents and the student. The Learning Enrichment team works with families to support ongoing progress.

Students study in mainstream English classes. Limited ESL tuition is provided by a specialist teacher to support individual needs. For Senior Campus students, specialist EAL support helps listening, reading, speaking and writing fluency. An International Student Coordinator oversees overseas student support and coordinates language resources and guidance. Evidence of English language proficiency is required for admission and is assessed during the enrolment process. Overseas student materials and EAL sessions are provided to support language development.

Mental wellbeing is a core aspect of the wellbeing framework. It is supported by five drivers: Agency, purpose, connection, thinking and engagement. A Director of Student Wellbeing leads the wellbeing program. Chaplaincy and Service provide chaplains at both campuses who support spiritual wellbeing, with weekly chapel and other services. Health Services, including the School Nurse, promote physical and psychological health and provide care across both campuses. Pastoral care and the House System offer ongoing support for student wellbeing.
