Wellbeing

Building Resilience

Proactive Wellbeing provides students with tools for learning, enabling them to thrive at school and lead meaningful, balanced lives outside of the classroom. We strive to build happy and resilient students to support their growth and development.

All international students are matched to a female mentor, who is like a caring, local mother. These women are Wellington-based native speakers. They are well trusted by QMC and help add another layer of support for our students.

Mentors

We have a Wellington-based cultural group that provide assistance to students with course election evenings, parent and school liaison, school report translation and general support and guidance. Mentors help with cultural adaption, language barriers and practical day-to-day living.

What our students say about their mentors:

"My mentor is awesome and a great supporter. She often takes me out for dinner" - Sathiya

"My mentor has been very helpful when I have some problems. She is also very kind because she texts me all the time" - Pinn

Our proactive wellbeing programme is facilitated by tutor teachers once a week and has been developed for each year level from Year 7-13.
