SPECIAL REPORT: The Wellbeing Barometer - 2025
The Wellbeing Barometer survey is an invaluable tool for schools, providing critical insights into the mental health and wellbeing of young people. This annual survey identifies areas of concern, highlights resilience and adaptability in students, and emphasises the importance of preventative strategies to promote positive outcomes.
Participation in this survey is strongly encouraged, as it offers a comprehensive view of students' experiences, challenges, and achievements. By capturing a detailed understanding of young people's experiences, the survey supports a tailored approach to enhancing their mental, emotional, and social wellbeing. It helps to identify strengths and areas for improvement, as well as pinpoint opportunities for early intervention.
The survey is part of an ongoing longitudinal study, and we encourage you to take a few moments to complete the survey for each of your children. Responses remain anonymous and should be based on your observations over the last 12 months. By working together, we can reduce the long-term impact of mental illness and make a meaningful difference to the lives of our young people for a brighter future.

We Welcome Our Parents of New Students
We had the pleasure of welcoming our new parents with a morning and afternoon tour of the college. It was wonderful to meet so many of you and introduce you to our school, its facilities, and the vibrant community your children are now part of!
Welcoming Our New Students: The "New Kids on The Block" Program
Starting a new school can be both exciting and overwhelming, which is why St Luke’s Catholic College has developed the New Kids on The Block program to support students as they transition into our community. This initiative begins with new families meet our leadership team, tour the school, and receive essential information to help them feel at home. Thoughtfully designed resources, including tailored videos, handbooks, and buddy systems, ensure students are supported every step of the way. With dedicated staff, personalised guidance, and ongoing workshops, we strive to make each student’s journey a smooth and positive experience.
