Moreton Bay College

Hearts and Minds is the wellbeing framework that supports the wellbeing of every girl at Moreton Bay College. It is an evidence‑based framework consisting of five actions: Connect, Be active, Take notice, Keep learning, and Give. The five actions are embedded across the curriculum and pastoral programmes; in Primary, they are explored under the PYP Learner Profile and Attitudes, and in Secondary, the wellbeing curriculum is the Positive Minds programme aligned to Hearts and Minds, with further opportunities through year‑level camps, student leadership, service learning and Form and House activities. The pastoral care framework is delivered through a collaborative partnership among students, parents and staff, and includes two counsellors and two full‑time Chaplains who provide counselling and spiritual guidance at every year level.

The Learning Enhancement team delivers personalised learning and differentiates the curriculum for individual needs. The Learning Support team works with classroom teachers to support students in individual, small‑group or classroom settings, developing confidence and learning strategies. The College also engages specialised staff such as Speech Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, Vision and Hearing Specialists and Educational Psychologists to support early intervention and ongoing individualised programming.

Hearts and Minds guides the school's wellbeing provisions, with five actions (Connect, Be active, Take notice, Keep learning, Give) embedded in both Primary and Secondary programmes. The Secondary wellbeing curriculum, Positive Minds, complements pastoral programmes and is mapped to Hearts and Minds, with additional opportunities through camps, leadership experiences, service learning and other year‑level activities. The school also provides access to College Counsellors and Chaplains as part of its wellbeing support.

Safeguarding is a shared responsibility across staff, students and families. Moreton Bay College upholds the 10 Child Safe Standards and the Universal Principle of cultural safety for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, as required by the Child Safe Organisations Act 2024 (Qld). Safeguarding is supported by policies including the Child Protection Policy, Anti‑Discrimination, Sexual Harassment and Workplace Bullying Policy, and the Complaints Handling Policy. The safety and wellbeing of students is the highest priority, and the College fosters a safe, inclusive environment with respectful relationships.
