At Lourdes Hill College, wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. Guided by our Stella Wellbeing Framework, we equip students, staff, and families with the skills and strategies to build a flourishing life—one where they can learn, grow, and thrive.

Our wellbeing approach focuses on connection, belonging, and resilience, fostering meaningful relationships and engagement in College life. Through participation in Curricular and Co-curricular activities, students develop confidence, purpose, and joy while broadening their perspectives.

Junior School Wellbeing

Junior School wellbeing emphasizes relationships, belonging, and kindness, encouraging students to find joy in everyday moments. Through the Stella Wellbeing Curriculum, students learn about relationship-building, respectful communication, and understanding themselves and others.
