Wellness in Schools
Creating a Wellness Culture within the educational community from Primary, Secondary through to Tertiary.
​
When looking at enhancing the a positive mindset and overall wellbeing of schools we look at three different areas:
-
Wellness for the Whole School: ALL students, teachers, office, support staff and parents
-
Wellness in the School Environment: Classroom wellness, Playgrounds etc
-
Wellness Programs for the Local Community who are involved with the School: This can include community groups such as Sporting clubs, Wellness programs for parents and families and/or local support groups.
​

​
What to expect?
Our programs aim to BUILD caring and supportive relationships, CREATE positive experiences, PROVIDE opportunities and ENCOURAGE participation in group activities leading to positive TEAMWORK.
These programs could involve a team of teachers or staff or a group of students of different ages or special needs.
