At Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs our focus on personal development is an important focus with our student’s wellbeing. This year we have implemented Student Development Days which focus on key themes to address and raise with our students. This has been a new initiative for the College as we look to support our students facing certain social challenges. So far, we have looked at a number of themes including:

• Bullying
• Positive Gender Relations
• Emotional Literacy
• Help Seeking
• Safe Socialisation
• Positive Coping

The day itself consists of lessons, workshops, presenters and concludes with a year level assembly. Each year level will have three of these days throughout the course of the year and it is expected that all students attend these days. The days have been incredibly positive amongst staff and students, and we have also had many parents give us some encouraging feedback. We are looking forward to our Student Development Days for Semester Two and the opportunity to work with our students on their personal wellbeing.
