About St Augustine's College Kyabram
St Augustine’s College is a thriving and active school with a long and well-established reputation that aims for excellence in education with a particular focus on the care of the individual within their community. They provide a high-quality education, founded on Catholic principles, recognising the needs of each individual and valuing the contribution of our whole community. Their aim is to develop the whole person – socially, emotionally, creatively, physically, academically and spiritually – in an environment that is safe, fun, engaging and challenging.
St Augustine’s is committed to having a very personal approach to each student, equipping them with the emotional, social, physical and intellectual skills they need to become happy, fulfilled individuals. Adopting The Best of Friends® program demonstrates their commitment to helping each student build esteem, feel valued and included, and face challenges.
How The Best of Friends® program will be implemented at St Augustine's College Kyabram
The Best of Friends® program was launched at St Augustine's College Kyabram in 2024 and is closely supported by our team of facilitators. Each participant will receive a copy of the exclusive workbook developed by Quirky Kid. To offer students the necessary support, facilitators and parents will have access to an extensive range of information, manuals and regular supervision as required.
To ensure appropriate evaluation, each child and group will complete psychometric testing of their social and emotional skills before and after The Best of Friends® program to measure the outcome of the intervention. Evaluation and monitoring is an important component of the program.
We look forward to working closely with St Augustine's College Kyabram in enhancing their students' well-being!
