Mental Health in Primary Schools
Michelle D'Antonio
Our Lady’s School is proud to be part of the Mental Health in Primary Schools (MHiPS) initiative. This program helps strengthen mental health support by promoting a whole-school approach to wellbeing—making sure every child feels safe, supported, and ready to learn.
As the Mental Health and Wellbeing Leader, I work closely with teachers to create a positive and supportive environment that encourages good mental health practices. I also help set up clear referral pathways for students who may need extra support and collaborate with parents, caregivers, and external agencies to build a strong, holistic support system around each child.
Together, we’re working to make Our Lady’s a place where every student can thrive -emotionally, socially, and academically.
