The GEM Academy implements a number of programs to support students’ wellbeing and mental health. These include:
Morning Check-ins – Designed to help students start their day with focus and readiness for learning. Through reflection, goal setting, and explicit teaching of self-regulation and expected behaviours, students are prepared for the day ahead.
Character Program – This initiative equips students with strategies to enhance their social skills. Key topics include mental health awareness, conflict resolution, building resilience, fostering positive peer interactions and friendships, responsible use of social media, making informed choices, and understanding positive character traits.
