OLGC uses an evidence based approach to select a number of programs that meet the needs of our school community. These include:
The program’s purpose is the development of 5 social and emotional capabilities: Confidence (academic, social), Persistence, Organisation, Getting Along, and Emotional Resilience. Central to the development of these 5 foundations is instilling in young people 12 Habits of the Mind such as Accepting Myself, Taking Risks and Setting Goals.
This is a Mindfulness and Positive Psychology based program to lessen anxiety and increase resilience in children. Students learn the skills of calming, meditation and self regulation.
The Better Buddies Program is an initiative of the Alannah and Madeline Foundation. Prep students are buddied with senior students to support their transition to primary school and help to reinforce positive behaviours and school values.
The Seasons Program is offered each year. This is a support program for those students who have suffered a loss through death or family separation. A trained facilitator conducts the program.
