Help us support student wellbeing
Together, we can create the opportunities so every child has the chance to thrive at school and beyond.
Our Benchmark Report – Every Child, Every Opportunity: Children’s Wellbeing, a New Perspective – was launched June 27, 2024 in Parliament House Canberra.
The launch was hosted by Senator the Honourable Sarah Henderson, Shadow Minister for Education and Mr Graham Perrett MP, co-chairs of the Parliamentary Friends of Primary Schools. The Honourable Jason Clare MP, Minister for Education, also attended and spoke about the importance of wellbeing and expressed his support for our important work – “I want to thank the team at Schools Plus for everything you do. I’m really looking forward to learning from the report.”
In the wake of the pandemic and natural disasters, children’s wellbeing has become a top priority for schools across Australia. Now, Schools Plus is able to shed light on some of the solutions. Drawing on our 10 years of experience in the education sector and a deep data dive of the last six years, the report highlights the wellbeing issues faced by disadvantaged schools and the proven solutions to address them.
The report shines a light on three key strategies to enhance the physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing for teachers, students and their families – Educator Professional Development; Wellbeing Navigators; and school-based Wellbeing Hubs.
