Staff Wellbeing

Remember student wellbeing is not a spectator sport

We have a two-hour staff wellbeing course which is fairly delightful.

The goal of this 2 hour professional development/learning  course is for all school staff to discover, practice and hopefully be inspired to prioritise their own wellbeing. Using the latest research from the world of positive psychology, mindfulness and neuroscience we aim to keep the workshop engaging and playful.

Learning Activities

1. Understand stress, the good and the bad
2. Receive invitations on ways to flourish both at school and at home 
3. Begin to identify character strengths and personal values. Explore how these differ and ways to live by the values we determine
4. Dip into the world of neuroscience
5. Practice some mindfulness-based activities to help be less reactive to situations and unhelpful thinking patterns. 
6. Make a personal plan for the future based on invitations that resonated with each participant.

Building Friendship Skills

The Building Friendship Skills PD is designed for teachers in primary schools to create an environment where healthy friendships and positive relationships are at the heart of the learning environment.

You will learn:

• What a healthy vs unhealthy friendship is
• Students to be problem solvers vs problem seekers
• Dealing with conflict productively
• Making amends respectfully
• Avoiding unnecessary conflict with emotional regulation

Consent Education

Consent education is mandatory across all schools as of 2023. This is fantastic, but what does that mean for our already busy and overloaded educators?! Where do you begin?

This one hour PD explains age appropriate consent education. A strong focus on understanding permission, power imbalances, receiving a no with respect and the golden rules of consent.

You will learn:

1. Know the golden rules of consent
2. Understand the building blocks necessary to be able to consent and ask for permission
3. Become familiar with our scope and sequence and lesson plans
4. Explore our consent tile of learning activities, songs, episodes and activities
5. Practice and play with some of the fantastic resources we have created 

And more!

This pre-recorded course is light, playful and provides numerous hands-on activities. Do it alone or at the same time as your colleagues.
