Student Wellbeing: Focuses on promoting students' physical, mental and emotional health, anti-bullying and school diversity. Student Support: Examines support systems such as learning assistance, mentorship, pastoral care and inclusive education. Personal Development: Tracks initiatives fostering leadership, career readiness, independence, social justice and outdoor education.

Common questions
How many schools reached Elite for Student Wellbeing?
24 of 125 assessed New South Wales schools reached the Elite tier for Student Wellbeing, 19.2 percent.
What does it take to reach Elite?
A building block score of 87.5 percent or above on Schools360. There is no partial credit and no top-N fallback: appearing on this list is the claim.
Why do some building blocks not have a page for every state?
A state page is only published once at least 8 schools in that state clear Elite for the building block. Fewer than that reads as thin to a parent and arbitrary to the schools left off, so Victoria and New South Wales are the only state pages at launch.
How is the Student Wellbeing score calculated?
Each building block is the average of three factors, each scored out of 20 from four assessed elements. See the methodology page for the full weighting and data sources.
Is this the same as the national Student Wellbeing list?
No. This page shows only New South Wales schools that reached Elite. The national page carries the full list for Australia and the methodology deep dive.
