Staff Wellbeing Framework

HAPPY STAFF WORK WELL

The College motto, With One Heart, is the translation of Archbishop Gleeson’s motto ‘Cor Unum’. In our Patron’s first letter to the College, he said “I leave with you this hope of mine: that Gleeson College will always be of ‘One Heart’ in every aspect of its life and mission.” Our community is therefore founded on the commitment of Archbishop James Gleeson to the charism of the heart and our desire to learn, grow and share ‘With One Heart’. At Gleeson College, we believe in the growth of each individual staff member and that ‘Happy Staff Teach Well’, hence, this sits in the middle of the framework surrounded by the four pillars, Identity, Engagement, Connection & Agency. The aim of the framework is to support all members of our community by fulfilling the Vision and Mission of the College through our ten core values known as the Gleeson 10 and the Gleeson Staff 5 specifically for staff members. The framework supports all staff in embracing the Gleeson 10 and Gleeson Staff 5 values through the HEART of Teaching and Learning and HEART of Pastoral Care. Fostering a restorative ethos through walking together to cultivate, repair and maintain relationships to develop empathetic, thoughtful, self-aware and creative students, through the professional and pastoral support of our staff members. Gleeson College’s staff wellbeing focus and commitment are evidenced in the programs and initiatives offered, including, retreats, ACCESS counselling services, mentoring programs for new and early career Teachers, community service involvement and professional learning opportunities. Ultimately, we aim to produce young people of One Heart – who are of service to others, deeply connected, thriving individuals, competent and capable learners, just, merciful, and humble leaders for the world God desires, and this is achieved through the deliberate commitment to supporting and upskilling and growing each staff member.
