Introducing Personal BEST – Trinity’s Wellbeing Program
Trinity’s newly-launched wellbeing curriculum spans from ELC through to Year 12, providing essential support by equipping students with the knowledge and age-appropriate skills needed to manage a complex range of pressures effectively.
In the Early Learning Centre, our youngest students have a collection of Kimochis – a playful cast of characters designed to help young children recognise, understand and talk about their feelings in a safe and engaging way.
“Emotional learning is a journey – not a destination – and it begins in those vital early years with thoughtful, evidence-based practices like these.”
– Naomi Wright, Director of the Early Learning Centre
Meet ‘Huggtopus’ – a cheerful, round, purple octopus with bright green spots on her tentacles and a big heart to match. She’s one of the Kimochis – a playful cast of characters designed to help young children recognise, understand and talk about their feelings in a safe and engaging way.
Grounded in sport and performance psychology, and shaped by the school’s core values, Personal BEST empowers students to grow through the pillars of Belong, Engage, Strive, and Thrive.
