Through this training, participants will explore strategies to foster a positive school culture and enhance student wellbeing outcomes.
Throughout the session, participants will:
Gain a comprehensive understanding of the ‘Wellbeing Policy Statement and Framework for Practice’ and its role in promoting student wellbeing.
Learn how to initiate and embed a multi-component, whole-school approach that addresses student wellbeing in line with international best practices.
Explore the steps involved in creating a cyclical process for wellbeing promotion, including planning, action, reflection, and ongoing development.
Develop strategies to engage staff, students, parents, and the wider school community in the wellbeing promotion process, ensuring a collaborative and inclusive approach.
