Ang Tenison Woods College ay nakatuon sa paglikha ng isang masigla, pagbabagong-anyo at nababanat na pamayanan ng pag-aaral na may kagalingan sa gitna ng lahat ng ginagawa natin. Ang kaligtasan at kabutihan ay mahalaga para sa parehong pag-unlad ng akademiko at panlipunan at ito ay pinatunayan ng pagbibigay ng ligtas, suporta at magalang na mga kapaligiran sa pag-aaral. Hindi lamang ang kumpiyansa, nababanat na mga kabataan na may kapasidad para sa emosyonal na katalinuhan na gumaganap nang mas mahusay sa akademya, ang mga kasanayang ito ay maaari ring magbigay ng kontribusyon sa paglikha ng mga matatag na bono sa lipunan at mga suporta sa komunidad, at pagpapanatili ng malusog na relasyon at responsableng pamumuhay.
Nagsasagawa kaming turuan ang aming mga mag-aaral ng mga kasanayan na kailangan nila upang umunlad, upang pamahalaan at makayanan ang mga pagkakataon at mga hamon sa isang pagbabago ng mundo at makamit ang kanilang mga layunin. Dahil dito, nabuo namin ang isang pakikipagtulungan sa South Australian Health and Medical Research institute (SAHMRI) upang maihatid ang Wellbeing and Resilience Training sa aming pamayanan, kawani, mag-aaral at magulang. Ang program na ito ay binibigyang diin ang kahalagahan ng PERMA + sa ating buhay: Positibong Emosyon, Pakikipag-ugnayan, Pakikipag-ugnay, Kahulugan, Pagkamit kasama ang nutrisyon, pagtulog at optimismo.
Ang kalinisan ay nalilinis sa ating kultura bilang bahagi ng ating balangkas sa pagtuturo at pagkatuto. Ang mga kasanayan at isipan na nagtataguyod ng kagalingan ay tahasang itinuro sa loob ng aming mga programa sa Pastoral Care at tahasang sa pamamagitan ng isang network ng nakabalangkas na suporta upang matugunan ang mga pangangailangan ng pisikal, espirituwal, sosyal, mental at emosyonal na kalusugan.
