Wellbeing & Character

The JPC SOARING Tree

Every stage of secondary school at JPC embeds a Positive Psychology framework, giving students real, everyday ways to live out our College Values — Mutual Respect, Integrity, Compassion and Excellence. We’ve grown this into something uniquely ours — the JPC SOARING Tree — building character strengths through SOARING.

The JPC SOARING Tree: a canopy of six branches — Relationships, Activity, Interests, Strong Outcomes, Noticing and Giving — growing from a trunk of character strengths, rooted in the College Values of Mutual Respect, Integrity, Compassion and Excellence
Original to JPC

Strong Outcomes

Setting and working towards meaningful academic and personal goals.

Activity Engagement

Getting involved and staying engaged in classroom and co-curricular life.

Relationship Building

Forming genuine, supportive connections with peers, staff and the wider community.

Interest Pursuing

Following curiosity into new subjects, clubs and passions worth pursuing.

Noticing & Self-Regulation

Building self-awareness and the self-regulation to manage challenges well.

Giving & Guiding Others

Contributing to and leading others within the JPC community.

SOARING runs through every year of secondary school — in class, in mentoring, and in co-curricular life. Students learn the habits that carry them through Year 12 and beyond.

Career counselling ignites students’ future ambitions, helping them choose the right education pathway for them.

From Year 7 through to Year 12, dedicated career education helps every JPC student connect their interests to a university course, VET pathway or career — well before they need to decide.
