Wellbeing
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The Primary School Counsellor leads targeted PSE lessons as part of the PSE program. Well‑being is woven throughout the entire PYP curriculum.

Counselling is transdisciplinary and linked to units of inquiry; sexuality education supports child protection and Kelso skills are developed to support learners' well‑being.
