What does it look like when a rural school transforms wellbeing into a proactive, data-informed priority?
Join us for this inspiring session as Emily Ryan, Assistant Principal Wellbeing (relieving) at Coonamble Public School, shares her journey of embedding real-time wellbeing practices into daily school life. With eight years of teaching experience and four years in leadership, Emily has spent the past 12 months leading wellbeing at Coonamble PS. She is passionate about the belief that a student’s wellbeing is the foundation of all their learning.
Working alongside a fabulous wellbeing team, Emily has developed how Life Skills GO is utilised within the school setting, strengthening its links with Real Schools and the Berry Street Education Model. Her experience highlights how even rural schools can harness real-time data to empower student voice, reduce admin load, and strengthen whole-school connection.

Why This Webinar Matters
In rural schools, educators often wear multiple hats—teacher, leader, and administrator. With wellbeing now a critical priority, having efficient, data-driven systems can make the difference between reacting late and supporting students in real time.
This webinar will provide school leaders, wellbeing coordinators, and teachers with practical strategies that work in both small rural schools and larger urban settings—helping you create a proactive, preventative wellbeing culture that’s measurable, sustainable, and deeply embedded in school life.
