Wellbeing

This is the time for your daughter to grow, learn and explore herself and the world around her.

So it’s essential that she has a support network that cares for her whole wellbeing. Our pastoral care goes beyond classmates to include housemates, buddies, teachers, deans, Chaplains and family. That support network is about looking out for our students and looking after them when they need it – and it’s a big part of what makes Dio different.

Buddies and Peer Support

All students in Years 8-13 who are new to the school receive an invitation to a Morning Tea on the Friday before the school year starts. Here they meet their Year Level Dean, their Tutor teacher and their student buddies.

The Buddy will meet the new student on the first day of school, introduce them to other students and help them find their way in the first few weeks of school. That means each student will always have someone to talk to and a friendly face to help her settle into a new school year.

Our Counsellors

Taking care of yourself starts with letting others help, so Dio has a dedicated team of three counsellors ready to support staff and students in any way they need.

By listening, offering support and helping you make a plan you’ll be heard, and cared for in a way that’s unique to you.

Our Chaplains

Our Anglican heritage underpins our vision and who we are as a School community. Our Chaplains are an everyday part of school life, helping nurture faith and personal growth and encouraging our girls to think deeply about the intellectual, moral and social questions that
play out all around them. Our Chaplains offer a confidential Christian presence for our students, staff and wider School community.

Our House System

Every girl at Dio will join one of eight School Houses, each with its own colours, badge and motto. Our Houses build a close sense of community and belonging but there is always a place for friendly competition and teamwork. We hold inter-House challenges in Sports, Music, Dance and Debating and at the end of each year, the house with the most points takes away the Stark Cup.

Our Health Centre

Our registered nurse on duty at our Health Centre between 8.00am and 3.30pm, Monday to Friday is available to all students for their care. If any student has any health concerns she should see our nurse. Our nurse will contact parents if any student is not well enough to be at school and if there are any concerns regarding her health. Updated information gained from parents enables our nurse to best care for each student and keeps them safe. Our nurse works closely with our pastoral team and may be involved in meetings where health concerns are being addressed.
