This year, Cathedral College has partnered with The Resilience Project to embed a whole school approach to the concept of mental health and wellbeing. The Resilience Project assists our staff to deliver emotionally engaging programs which provide practical, evidence-based strategies to build resilience and happiness. The program has its foundations in the concepts of gratitude, empathy and mindfulness and also incorporates emotional literacy, connection and physical health as cornerstones for positive mental health and wellbeing.
