Positive Education is an applied science that weaves the research from Positive Psychology and wellbeing science into schools. It’s based on the premise that what we do matters. Positive Education teaches young people the skills they need to support and manage their mental health and wellbeing, assisting them to make a successful transition into and to maintain a healthy adult lifestyle.
It looks at building wellbeing capabilities among young people, so they have the skills and strategies for resilience and to cope with the challenges they face, but also focuses on giving them the capacity to realise their potential.
Our positive education model uses the School’s Values and Students' Character Strengths to support students to grow as well-rounded students who are resilient, reflective and strive to achieve their best. Positive education is taught through the Thrive Program and is also embedded into the school's Positive Behaviour Expectations matrix.
Positive House points accumulate throughout the year, which are converted into Positive Education Shop points that students can cash in at the shop for items. The Shop is located in the engagement hub and is open once a week.
