Mental Health and Wellbeing

School Vision

I alone know the plans I have for you; plans for the future you hope for. Jeremiah 29:11

We seek to transform the lives of our community within a Christian environment, nurturing the wellbeing of all, promoting the highest academic achievement and instilling a lifelong love of learning.

God’s plans for us are limitless. He knows us best and plans for us to reach our unique and individual potential, shaped in the palm of His hand. This potential may reveal itself when we least expect it, just like God’s love being revealed to us. We believe that we are shaping lives, not just in the present, but also for the future – enabling them to be global citizens in God’s rapidly changing world; celebrating life in all its fullness.

Just like everyone has a body, everyone has mental health. It’s not just about mental illness. When children have good levels of wellbeing it helps them to learn and explore the world, feel, express and manage positive and negative emotions and form and maintain good relationships.

At Christ Church, our vision underpins everything that we do to support wellbeing of everyone in our school community. This page provides information and resources to help support our families.
