From the Counsellors
Launch of SchoolTV
At St Mary’s College, we believe that pastoral care is a key part of school life, and we take this aspect of education very seriously.
The Head of Pastoral Care and the House Coordinators, working with committed teams of Homeroom teachers, are pivotal to the health and happiness of the student body.
SchoolTV
SchoolTV is an excellent new resource that is now available to our parents and carers.
This wellbeing platform is designed to address the modern-day realities of raising safe, happy and resilient young people using credible information while offering realistic and practical strategies.
Best practice content is represented in the latest articles and journals from 48 trusted source organisations in Australia and New Zealand, including Beyond Blue, Headspace and ReachOut.
All SchoolTV topics are divided into series. The number of topics relating to a series will differ and over time new topics will be added.
Parents and carers are invited to take the time to explore each series and topic, as well as the resources section. Here you will find useful factsheets, apps, books, websites and other additional videos – all on one single topic!
Topics include cybersafety, mental health, school survival, healthy body, positive parenting and special topics of timely relevance based on trending issues and themes.
The St Mary's College SchoolTV portal can be accessed on our website here.
This link will take you to the homepage. Have a look around at the information and resources available, including the SchoolTV flyer which you can read here.
You can also find the direct link to SchoolTV in our SMC Toolbox, which is accessible via the home page of our website. Please refer to the image below to see the app icon in situ.
