Student Well Being
Fairbridge has been running adventure therapy programs for many years, inclusive of outward-bound activities, where the engagement with the natural environment assists in teaching students the principles of action and consequences, team work and learning they can achieve more in their life than they thought they could.
Complimented by a comprehensive life skills development program students develop the knowledge, understanding and skills to support them to be resilient, to develop a strong sense of self, to build and maintain satisfying relationships, to make health-enhancing decisions in relation to their health and physical activity participation, and to develop health literacy competencies in order to enhance their own and others‘ health and well-being.
As students mature, learning how to address issues such as personal transitions, safety, healthy eating, substance use, and mental and sexual health are critical to maintaining and promoting the health of young Australians.
