Wellbeing

Welcome to Week 3!

I hope the term is going well for you and your family so far. My name is Isabelle Douglas, and I’m excited to step into the role of Wellbeing Leader at St Patrick’s. I’m really looking forward to supporting our students, families, and staff in creating a safe, inclusive, and positive school environment.

This year St Patrick’s will be participating in the Bullying No Way: National week of action, on the 11th to the 15th August 2025.

Bullying No Way Week is a commitment being made by thousands of schools and supporters across the country. It provides an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to bullying prevention. It gives us an opportunity to connect with students, staff and school communities to implement workable solutions to prevent bullying.

The theme for this year's campaign is Be Bold. Be Kind. Speak Up.

It takes a community to be brave and address bullying behaviours, within and beyond the school gate.

Students can be bold, kind and speak up to support others being bullied. While trusted adults are there to support children and young people learn how to be kind to each other and report bullying.

This Bullying No Way Week, we’re asking you to be bold and say something, be kind and support someone and be proud to speak up against bullying. We ask that students wear a bold/bright coloured accessory on Friday the 15th August.

You can find more information on the fact sheet, and may also be interested in watching a parent webinar on how to best support your child at home.
