Student Wellbeing is one of our priorities at Montpellier Primary School, and our school curriculum incorporates positive education, Respectful Relationships and a range of programs, such as Body Bright body image education and smiling mind to ensure that our students feel safe and connected to school and the wider community.

We are part of the Mental Health In Primary Schools Program for 2023.

Montpellier Primary School takes a proactive approach to wellbeing through the embedding of evidence-based strategies, interventions and programs throughout the school.
