Student Wellbeing

Making friends plays an important part in your child’s social and emotional development.

Attributes such as social competence, self-esteem, and self-confidence have all been found to be positively correlated to having friends. 

Studies show that friendships help children to learn more about themselves, provide a sense of belonging, increase academic performance, and most importantly, assist with their overall wellbeing.
