Student Wellness
At YCYW, we recognize the crucial role of wellness in academic success and overall happiness. Our wellness programs support students' social, emotional, and mental health.
Peer Mentorship Programme: Fosters positive relationships between students and adults from Year 4 to Year 13 (YCIS) and Grade 3 to Grade 12 (YWIES). Led by the Head of Inclusion, it aims to create a safe, supportive environment for social/emotional support, cultivate a culture of connection, and develop students' interpersonal skills, character, and growth mindset.
Student Support Services: Provide additional support for students with learning challenges, including cognitive, communication, social, emotional, behavioural, physical, or sensory impairments, medical conditions, and long-term absences. Our approach ensures all students enjoy a broad, balanced, and relevant education, with accommodations, modifications, and learning resources to support their success.
Adult Education: Involves teachers and parents in fostering a nurturing environment. Teachers receive training on student social/emotional and mental health needs, self-care, stress management, and positive behaviour management techniques. Parents receive education and support through workshops on effective positive parenting strategies, social/emotional and mental health awareness, and collaboration with the school.
Pastoral Programs/SEL Programs: These structured yet flexible periods, including mentor time, homeroom time, assemblies, and circle time, contribute to the overall wellness of students. They build strong relationships, enhance social/emotional skills, promote a positive school culture, and encourage student voice and leadership.
