St Patrick’s is proud to be a URSTRONG school, where student wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do.
URSTRONG is a whole-school strategy that empowers students with the skills to build healthy friendships and foster a culture of kindness. It also provides parents and teachers with a shared language and practical tools to support children in navigating social situations with confidence.
The program’s mission is to proactively create a climate of trust, respect and honesty within friendships. Students learn to solve problems more independently and make choices that support happy, healthy relationships.
URSTRONG is effective because it:
- Uses child-friendly language to help students understand and retain key concepts
- Focuses on skills-based learning, reinforced through role-playing and real-life scenarios
- Strengthens the school-home connection, with parents encouraged to access free online resources by registering at For Parents | URSTRONG [link to: https://urstrong.com/parents/]
Aligned with our Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) curriculum, UR Strong reflects our school mission grounded in respect and trust. Together, we are building a community where every child feels safe, supported, and connected.
We encourage parents to access the free online resources by registering on the URSTRONG link.
