Student Wellbeing

Our aim is to provide a safe and positive environment while developing exceptional communication, problem-solving and conflict resolution skills. Student wellbeing is inspired by God’s word and reflects the love, compassion, and forgiveness that God shows us every day.  

We help students to develop meaningful relationships with their peers, teachers, parents, and the wider community. We have a team to help support our students in this area, as well as providing programs like ‘Bridge Builders’, ‘What’s the Buzz?’, and a Wednesday breakfast club.  

We also provide a chill space, counselling, and referrals to other services for those who need it.   

Bridge Builders Program

We recognise that conflict can be a part of life, but bullying should not be. Staff at MNCC are committed to helping students who require individual emotional and behavioural support to become their best selves.  

Our whole College approach to addressing wellbeing, conflict resolution, and bullying behaviour equips students to be resilient and effective communicators. Our students feel empowered to deal with everyday conflict and reduce the incidences and impact of bullying in their lives. We aim to develop young adults who contribute to their community.  

Our students are encouraged to be responsible and respectful in social situations and to care for others. They develop a shared understanding of acceptable and unacceptable behaviours as well as inappropriate language. This then enables students to develop the skills to manage conflict and engage in useful strategies to identify and halt bullying behaviour in themselves or others.  

Through the ‘Bridge Builders’ program, students learn to take responsibility for, and ownership of, their ability to problem-solve. They develop skills that focus on forming positive, meaningful relationships with their peers and their extended community. Equipped with the skills to actively build bridges in relationships, students are better able to approach all situations with a positive mindset, self-control, and a view to kindness.
