Wellbeing
As a Lutheran school, the well-being of all members of our community is a high priority, but particularly and primarily that of our students.
Our Free to Flourish framework asks all members of the College community to be purposeful, relational, compassionate, and adventurous, and we encourage this in our well-being space by educating students about how to handle different emotions and situations, and provide opportunities for the broader community to learn more about the social and emotional side of education through our school’s resources.
With our well-being team, comprised of our Head of Wellbeing and social workers, combined with our individual student care teams, which also involve Pastoral Care teachers, leadership, and families; the well-being of our students has a familial and team-based approach. Combined with our use of Open Parachute to help students learn about social and emotional context and SchoolTV for the whole community to be more aware of nuanced situations, we aim to graduate conscientious and self-fulfilling students.
Our Circle of Care
Social Worker
Our qualified Social Worker is available to provide social, emotional and wellbeing support to students and families. Students are supported individually to feel safe, valued and connected, ensuring they experience a positive school experience. This benefits academic success, builds confidence, autonomy, self-esteem, resilience and promotes healthy relationships. Support is confidential and can be accessed by students and families directly or via your students’ pastoral care teacher. ELC’s Social Worker works alongside the student, family and if appropriate, Head of Student Wellbeing and teachers to ensure a coordinated approach to your students’ wellbeing.
SchoolTV Resource

Bridging the gap between schools, families and students.
"It’s never been more challenging for parents to raise happy, healthy and resilient children. The SchoolTV platform provides schools with an extensive range of wellbeing resources for parents, so they can work together in partnership to ensure better wellbeing for all students."
