Wellbeing and Support

How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The school has a dedicated Wellbeing Centre where our psychologist, counsellors, Deans and Careers staff are located to guide students' mental, physical and emotional health. The team works with teachers and families to ensure the overall wellbeing of every girl. The Wellbeing programme starts from day one and continues through graduation. The Year 7 Homeroom model provides close pastoral care, and Vertical Tutor Groups from Year 8 onward offer ongoing support to help girls settle, form friendships, and develop leadership and social skills. Strong friendships and a caring, inclusive community are nurtured through the school's ethos, with service and the values programme embedded across campus.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Pohutukawa Learning Centre is led by a registered educational psychologist and works with classroom educators, occupational therapists and speech and language therapists who regularly visit the school to meet each student's unique needs on site.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

If English is not your first language, ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) classes are provided to help establish stronger English language skills.

Mental Wellbeing

The Wellbeing Centre includes a psychologist, counsellors, Deans, nurses and mental health practitioners who guide students' mental health and wellbeing. The team collaborates with teachers and families to monitor wellbeing and respond to concerns. The Wellbeing programme runs from day one through graduation, with a focus on resilience, coping strategies and healthy relationships. Settling in is supported by teachers and older students to help girls feel belonging and connected. The Senior School pastoral structure, including Year 7 Homerooms and Vertical Tutor Groups, further supports social development and leadership and reinforces the school's values-based approach to wellbeing.
