Wellbeing
Wellbeing is when people flourish and find meaning through connections to a caring community where they feel safe, secure and supported.
When members of the NIST community are thriving and feel a sense of belonging, an environment is created that is conducive to optimal learning and growth.
Wellbeing is recognised as an essential element of the NIST Learning Programme. It is expressed through the development of respectful relationships, a balanced and healthy lifestyle, community engagement and a robust curriculum designed with the lifelong learner in mind.
Within this environment, we create opportunities for all members of our community to develop a sense of competency, to find enjoyment, and to engage purposefully in shared experiences that help us to flourish.
