CLICK HERE – MSCW Learning & Wellbeing Framework
The MSCW Learning and Wellbeing Framework is unique to Marist Sisters’ College Woolwich as it is centred on the students that form this thriving Catholic learning community in partnership with staff and their families.
Sisters for Life
Positive connections impact an individual’s motivation and thus strengthen their engagement in learning and creates a safe and supportive environment. How individuals feel about school is related to the quality of the relationships they experience within the community.
As a result of establishing and maintaining sisterly relationships, students are empowered to demonstrate their courage and share their gifts as they promote social connection, critical thinking, and active participation, which promotes attendance levels, achievement and ultimately an individual’s self-worth.
Sisterly relationships are established through the House system that supports and facilitates student and staff connections through Community Time events. Skills in establishing and maintaining positive relationships are explicitly taught through the evidence-based Wellbeing Curriculum in Years 7-10 that focuses on developing Social Emotional Learning of students.
Empathy and inclusivity are strengthened through opportunities to give back and doing things for others without the expectation of anything in return. Students are encouraged to engage in service of others through Marist Service where they demonstrate their commitment to being Marist Women of Action.

In this edition of SchoolTV – Yr 12 Exam Stress
Students in their final year of school are considered a high-risk group for depression and anxiety. Sleep deprivation, diet and social media are some of the biggest issues faced by this group of teens. Therefore it is vitally important that a student’s mental health is looked after as well as their physical health.
Keeping things in perspective for students and parents alike, can help prevent everyone getting overwhelmed. Although this final year is important, it will not be the most important year of your child’s life.
There are many strategies that students can implement to help themselves. Parents can provide support, not only emotionally, but also practically by keeping their child well-nourished and encouraging physical activity.
In this special report, parents will find useful tips to support their child during this often stressful time.
We hope you take time to reflect on the information offered in this edition of SchoolTV and we always welcome your feedback. If you have any concerns about your daughter, please contact her Tutor Teacher or House Coordinator for further information or seek medical or professional help.
