QMC implements a Proactive Wellbeing Strategy to support social and emotional learning, with THRIVE as a wellbeing programme designed for Year 7–13 that builds on six pillars of wellbeing. The school emphasises purpose, accomplishment, engagement, emotional strength, positive relationships and wellness, and provides parent talks through a Parent Speaker Series to help families discuss difficult topics. School wellbeing resources include access to SchoolTV for families.
International students and other students needing English language support receive inclusive English language tuition as part of tuition; additional ESOL tuition is available at extra cost, with regular testing and progress updates, specialist Speech and Drama lessons to boost fluency and confidence, and small classes to cater to individual needs.
