GEM: Gratitude, Empathy, and Mindfulness
Every day at Dianella Secondary College, students participate in GEM (Gratitude, Empathy, Mindfulness) sessions. These dedicated sessions are designed to help students appreciate what they have, develop empathy for others, and practice mindfulness to manage stress and emotions. The daily focus on these core values fosters emotional well-being and supports positive mental health.

At Dianella Secondary College, resilience is key to personal growth. Through The Resilience Project, we provide students with practical tools to build mental resilience, develop positive relationships, and navigate life’s challenges. This program is based on evidence-based strategies that promote emotional well-being, gratitude, and mindfulness.

Our Aspire Program is designed to inspire students to pursue excellence in all areas of their academic and personal lives. This program offers enrichment opportunities for high-achieving students, encouraging them to set ambitious goals, engage in critical thinking, and develop leadership skills. Aspire students are given tailored support to help them thrive and reach their full potential.

We believe that every student has the potential to lead. At Dianella Secondary College, we offer a range of Student Leadership opportunities that allow students to step up, represent their peers, and make a meaningful impact on the College community. From Student Council and House Captains to leading initiatives in areas like sustainability, student well-being, and event planning, there are numerous ways for students to get involved, develop leadership skills, and be a positive force in our College.
Our commitment to fostering a strong sense of belonging ensures that every student at Dianella Secondary College feels valued, supported, and empowered to succeed in all aspects of their College life.
