Wellbeing
ARIS is proud to offer a Wellbeing Department that is dedicated to supporting the emotional, social, and physical wellbeing of our school community. The department has undergone significant development over the years, and is now known as the Wellbeing Division.
What is The Wellbeing Division you may ask? Our division forms a crucial part of the holistic care system we have in place to support our community. ARIS believes in creating a nurturing environment where every student can thrive, thus our learners and faculty’s overall sense of mental, physical and social health are of utmost importance. Our dedicated team works within a comprehensive framework to ensure the holistic development and well-being of every student at ARIS.
Our Wellbeing Framework
At ARIS, we believe that wellbeing is the heart of learning and growth. Our framework is built on three pillars: caring for ourselves, caring for our community, and caring for the environment. This means helping every student and staff member feel safe, supported, and empowered to thrive—inside and outside the classroom. Through classes, activities, and support systems, we work together to build a school culture where everyone belongs and where challenges are met with compassion and care.
Wellbeing 2.0
This year, we are excited to launch Wellbeing 2.0, a new chapter in our journey. Wellbeing 2.0 strengthens the ways we connect as a community by giving students more opportunities to share their voice, supporting teachers with new tools for care, and creating spaces for parents to engage in meaningful conversations. It also introduces new well-being modules focusing on life skills, resilience, and belonging. Our goal is simple: to create a school environment where every child and adult can flourish and where wellbeing is genuinely part of everyday life.
Our Curriculum
As part of this journey, our wellbeing curriculum has been thoughtfully redesigned to be more engaging, practical, and relevant for every age group. Students now experience interactive modules focusing on self-awareness, emotional regulation, communication, leadership, and healthy lifestyle habits. By blending reflection with real-world skills, the new curriculum empowers students to care for themselves and others while growing into compassionate leaders.
The Rooted Belonging Program
We are also proud to introduce the Rooted Belonging program, a partnership with an external consultant who specialises in trauma-informed and culturally conscious practices. This program is designed to deepen inclusion across our school by creating intentional spaces for reflection, dialogue, and growth. Rooted Belonging helps students, staff, and families strengthen trust, celebrate diversity, and build lasting connections, ensuring that everyone feels seen, valued, and at home at ARIS.
