Student Wellbeing Pillars

Health and wellbeing

The link between health, wellbeing and positive academic performance is clear. Healthy students are more alert, engaged and learn better.

I like school

Students who are happy and satisfied with their lives tend to be more engaged with their schoolwork and more resilient to academic setbacks.

My education

Great teachers make learning fun. Students pay more attention and learn better when they are both challenged and interested.

My school

A positive school environment is defined as a school having appropriate facilities, accessible health support and a fair disciplinary policy.

Relationships with students

Schools should aim to create an inclusive environment where students are encouraged to work together, nurturing peer relationships.

Relationships with teachers

Positive teacher-student relationships promote a sense of school belonging and encourage students to engage with their work.

Reward and recognition

An effective school management system will both recognise and reward good behaviour, showing that no positive effort goes unnoticed.

School culture

A school’s culture is made up of the shared values, beliefs, rules, behaviours, learning models and relationship styles that they encourage.
