Wellbeing at our core 

Caulfield Grammar’s commitment to, and focus on, the connection between emotional health and learning outcomes is a vital component of our boarding approach, not just for students but also for families. The wellbeing of our boarding students is proactively supported through a network of care that encompasses a strong partnership between home, school, and community.

Having the right people around can make a huge difference to how boarders feel in those moments when they need someone to talk to. Our boarding team offers guidance and support to ensure each child has everything they need to assist them in their day-to-day life.

Our students developed their own set of behaviours for each of our school values – which are pursuing excellence, inspiring creativity, thriving together, embracing diversity and living wholeheartedly.
