At Mount St Benedict College, we bring together the science of Positive Psychology and best teaching practice to encourage our students to flourish (optimal wellbeing) at school. Positive Education highlights students’ understanding of their own strengths and develops skills that our students can harness to strengthen their
relationships with everyone in their world. This includes building and understanding positive emotions, enhancing resilience when faced with adversity, practising mindfulness, and fostering a healthy lifestyle. It is
underpinned by seeking meaning in life through service to others and providing skills in achieving personal goals. We encourage our girls to seek and cultivate the best within themselves and strike a fulfilling,
manageable balance in their experiences of love, work and play. In our holistic vision of education, students
are able to build their confidence through a wellbeing structure that includes a community of House groups
and vertical Homerooms, Residential Education and Cocurricular Programs.
