Salesian College, Chadstone VIC -Building Resilience
At Salesian, we equip students with the skills they need to thrive as resilient learners. Our contemporary Learning Matrix curriculum approach aims to develop communication, collaboration and critical
thinking skills. Teachers at Salesian are invested in the holistic development of students, who see their teachers as mentors they can trust. “At Salesian, I am truly blessed to have strong bonds with my teachers. The teachers
here are more than teachers. They are mentors, inspirations and mates”, reflects 2021 College Captain Steven Tran. As a specialist in boys’ education, Principal Mark Ashmore understands that building resilience requires a holistic approach. “It is an exciting challenge to prepare our boys with the skills and dispositions to adapt to change, be resilient, and to consider and value others so that they can contribute back to society. When we focus on the holistic development of our young men, it helps them form their identity, build positive and respectful relationships and develop an optimistic approach to life.”
