While delivering the academic curriculum and nurturing student wellbeing form the core focus of our education program at Bright P-12 College, we believe that helping students build life skills that prepare them for their journeys outside of school is equally important.

We place a high priority on working with students of all ages to build skills that help them understand themselves, care about others, make responsible decisions, regulate their emotions, communicate effectively, problem-solve, demonstrate leadership, build empathy, work well in teams and handle themselves constructively when challenged.

As many of these skills form the core of our College Guiding Principles, these skills and behaviours are taught to all of our students, and modelled by teachers, during the course of every school day.  Furthermore, we offer specific programs that help our students build their life skills including the following:
     -  Life Education Van P-6
     -  Health Education P-10
     -  Career events and excursions for senior students
     -  International trips and excursions, promoting an awareness of global education
     -  Guest speakers from various Universities, career paths and study options
     -  Outdoor Recreation- trips and camps that promote leadership and safety skills
     -  Peer support programs- Year 6/prep Buddy system, Year 10 Peer support Program
     -  Mentoring and Leadership opportunities- Senior and Junior school captains, Student Representative Committee, Senior and Junior Sports Captains
