Student Wellbeing
Every student has the right to be part of a learning community that is safe, supportive and nurturing allowing them to flourish and become all that God has created them to be.
At Josiah College, focusing on the wellbeing of every student is at the heart of everything we do.
The guidance and support of our students is provided by all members of our school community. Every student has access to guidance and direction from classroom teachers, support staff, Year Level Deans, Dean of Student Engagement and chaplains. At Josiah College, our staff know and understand all our students and embrace them for who they are.
Restorative Practice

At Josiah College, restorative practice is embedded in our teaching and learning approach to encourage all our students to be safe, respectful learners.
