Feeling comfortable at school, as well as being happy and healthy, has a direct impact on each student’s optimal learning and their confidence and resilience. The relationship between wellbeing and learning, therefore, is critical to the development of each boy.
Our goal is to provide a proactive environment to support students to develop skills and mindset to actively manage their wellbeing.
Wellbeing is the experience of health, happiness, and prosperity. It includes having good mental health, high life satisfaction, a sense of meaning or purpose, and ability to manage stress.
Overall wellbeing enhances intrinsic motivation, decreases disciplinary problems, increases academic achievement, improves school satisfaction and leads to flourishing of individuals, communities, and nations (Buecker et al., 2018).
Simply put, those who feel better can learn better.
Investment in teacher wellbeing contributes to improved health and wellbeing for teachers and students, and ultimately, to positive learning outcomes. The education of children and young people is at the core of teachers’ work and learner success underpins the daily effort, enthusiasm, and commitment from teachers.
Promoting mental health in schools is something we must all prioritise. Mental health issues could affect anyone at any time, so it’s important we get it right and help our students as much as possible.
Teacher mental health is incredibly important and something we should all protect and support. Teacher burnout is too common and will continue to be a problem if it isn’t rectified.
Good relationships are important for your mental wellbeing.
Being active is not only great for your physical health and fitness.
Finding meaning by giving back to the community doesn’t just benefit others – it benefits you.
