Language competency adds to our well-being and self-confidence. At SNA we provide an opportunity for language learning and critical study in English, Vietnamese, and Korean, as well as supporting Independent Language studies for students from other mother tongue backgrounds. Our SNA community recognizes the importance of language not only in determining academic success but also in nurturing international mindedness and preparing our students to be global citizens.

At SNA, our School Counselling and Wellbeing Team works directly with students on issues (as they arise) in a confidential and safe manner. This includes individual, social, peer, educational, and relationship type issues to enable the physical, mental, social and emotional wellbeing concerns to be addressed. We see the whole person inclusive of mind, body and environment. We mentor, advocate and enable students to cope with a wide range of emotions, teaching resilience and self-help strategies. 

We cannot fulfill our obligations alone and recognize the immeasurable value family holds in this relationship. We encourage family interaction, support, contribution and nurturing, building a sense of belonging, agency and security within our community. We facilitate students in their growth of self, how to be safe, child protection matters and wellbeing as they progress through our school and mature into young, independent, well-adjust adults holding, their own agency with confidence and an awareness of the global world.
