Our world-class Positive Education program features prominently across our school with unsurpassed pastoral care in each classroom for every child, a well-defined code of behaviour and a well-developed sense of community.
Our dedicated and talented teaching and support staff are justifiably proud of all that 尹人直播 has to offer and the well-rounded, well-educated, considerate and community-minded young people who are our past and present students.
Positive Psychology is the scientific study of how to live a healthy, happy, and meaningful life.
At 尹人直播, our Positive Education K-12 scope and sequence incorporates programs and evidence-based research by leading international experts in social and emotional literacy and wellbeing, including Professor Toni Noble (ACU), Professor Helen McGrath (Deakin, RMIT), Professor Carol Dweck (Stanford University), Professor John Hattie (University of Melbourne), and Ron Ritchhart (Harvard University), as well as research-based organisations such as VIA Institute on Character, MindUp Foundation, the New Economics Foundation, Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Centre and New York University’s Character Lab.
In 2021, our theme at 尹人直播 is 鈥楥ourage and Kindness鈥�. Courage is different for every person, and there is no courage without fear. Courage can mean stepping up, even when we feel afraid, to speak in front of the class; to try something new; to stand up for someone else; and to do the right thing. It can take courage to speak the truth, and to feel vulnerable, and it can also take courage to listen to someone else who may have a different perspective.
When we use courage with kindness, we remind ourselves to use empathy to try to understand how someone else may be feeling or thinking. This can help us to build healthy relationships and to learn and develop these strengths.
An age-appropriate scope and sequence of Positive Education and Wellbeing has been developed across the whole school. Students are taught important skills and strategies that build on each other to ensure they develop social, emotional and wellbeing literacy.
A brief overview of key topics are:
