Once school is over we find ourselves in a world filled with people of different ages, personalities and backgrounds that can be very different than the microcosm within the four walls of the classroom.
That’s why Siena College empowers their students with life lessons that can be taken far beyond its school grounds.
Deputy Principal Wellbeing, Antonella Rosati, says Siena College provides skills for life and helps young women deal with their world.
The College does this by providing programs that are interconnected and importantly, based on a culture of child safety.
“For example, our cyber safety program allows the girls to talk about their experiences and how to deal with them, including things they should and shouldn’t say, calling out bad behaviours and protecting one another,” Ms Rosati said.
“And that is cemented in our Respectful Relationships program which is about standing up when things aren’t going well and providing students with avenues for support and help.”
These programs empower young women to engage their voice – whether at school or in the outside world. The overall aim is to develop confidence and resilience in all students.
