To complement our Semester One Knowledge Sharing activities, we have developed a selection of resources.

National  

• Australian Student Wellbeing Framework 
  • The vision of the Framework is that Australian schools are learning communities that promote student wellbeing, safety and positive relationships so that students can reach their full potential. Evidence-based and practical, the Framework focuses on 5 key elements: Support, Leadership, Inclusion, Partnerships and Student Voice  
• Student Wellbeing Hub (Resources) (Education Services Australia)  
  • The Student Wellbeing Hub contains a wealth of information and resources, aligned with the Australian Curriculum, for educators, parents, and students on strategies to build and sustain the wellbeing of the whole school community. The Hub is underpinned by the Australian Student Wellbeing Framework.
