Specialist Wellbeing
Support

Our Wellbeing Team includes professional Welfare and Pastoral Care staff. We embrace wellbeing as holistic, helping your child form the building blocks for life, developing resilience and flourishing as a valuable person designed by God.

Our team collaborates with the Pastoral Care staff to support the psychological, social, emotional and spiritual needs of students. Your child will feel valued, secure and capable in the care of our dedicated staff. Additionally, Pacific Hope is a member of the Pacific Group of Christian Schools and can access the resources, services and guidance of the Pacific Wellbeing team.

Beyond the classroom, we build partnerships of collaboration with parents, carers and external agencies when required.

Above and Beyond

Every child is valued and welcomed into our nurturing and supportive learning community. Our staff genuinely desire to go above and beyond in our service to families to support the wellbeing of each student. We build positive connections to complement our comprehensive learning and support programs to open a world of discovery and development that helps your child live purposefully.

Therapy Dogs

We love that God created animals to bring enjoyment and assistance to our lives. Our two therapy dogs, Sunny and Otee, are beloved members of our community. They have made a significant impact on the wellbeing of our students, who relish their time with our therapy dogs. The interaction between students and our therapy dogs helps reduce anxiety and stress, support mental health, boost moods, provide comfort, build connections, create trust and support learning.

Our wellbeing sensory learning spaces are safe places that support and stimulate the sensory needs of our students, helping them to cope with challenges. Our students enjoy and respond positively in our specially constructed sensory garden and playground.
