Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
Community is the heart of Luther College. The school has a caring and supportive environment that helps students thrive academically and personally. It fosters belonging through events, clubs, and daily interactions, helping students build friendships and grow in confidence. Chapel is a core part of Luther College Life, inviting reflection and dialogue. The school celebrates diversity and intercultural understanding, welcoming international students and offering Language Exchange and Multicultural Night to bring people together. Overall, the environment supports social and emotional growth as an integral part of the student experience.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
The school has an Academic Support Coordinator who provides individualized accommodations and supports for students with diagnosed learning disorders so they can thrive in their studies. The Academic Support Coordinator and Academic Vice-Principal work together to address learning needs and ensure appropriate supports are in place. The program tailors accommodations to each student's needs. Families can contact the Academic Support Coordinator and the Academic Vice-Principal for information about supports and accommodations. The school emphasizes inclusive practices and proactive planning to help students succeed academically.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
The school has an English as an Additional Language (EAL) program designed to equip international students with the English skills needed to thrive at Luther and in their future studies. The program blends classroom learning with personalized one-on-one instruction in a CEFR-guided three-step framework to meet each student's needs. It progresses students from confident communication to independent learning through EAL Intermediate, Advanced, and Higher Level stages. Beyond coursework, the program encourages participation in afterschool clubs, sports, and arts to practice English in real-life settings. Intake assessments are conducted via Skype before arrival, and placement decisions are based on language levels. These elements support the student's linguistic, academic, and social integration.

Mental Wellbeing
Two counsellors are available to support students facing personal challenges or mental health issues. Counselling sessions can be held in-person or remotely, and privacy is protected; remote sessions use secure video conferencing and are not recorded. The nurse's office is open 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., Monday through Friday, providing routine care, referrals, and emergency medical support. The wellbeing and health services address mental health needs and provide guidance to support students' emotional well-being and overall health. Students can contact the counsellors to arrange appointments.

Safeguarding
Student Safety is supported by the ARTO process (Student Assessment of Risk to Others) to identify threats and ensure safety. Fair Notice and Process informs students and parents about reporting and handling concerns. All threat-making behaviour must be reported to the Principal or Vice-Principal who activates ARTO. The ARTO team includes the Principal, Vice Principal, counsellors, and others, and may involve the Regina Police Service and other community resources. The school maintains partnerships with community resources such as Regina Police Service, City of Regina, Regina Fire & Protective Services, Regina Catholic School Division, Ministry of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety, Regina Open Door Society, and others to support safety. The school conducts lockdowns and secure building protocols and provides training and drills for safety, with emergency communications such as emails to parents and red alert banners on the home page. Fire safety, medical emergencies, and other urgent protocols are practiced to ensure readiness and protection for all students and staff.
