The Road to Resilience Unit

Description

Resilience is a hot topic in education and health - and for a good reason! Resilience is the ability to cope with uncomfortable life events and challenges. It has been described as the capacity to ‘bounce back’ from difficult situations and persist in the face of adversity. Resilience is a learnable skill and can be taught to students of any age.

The unit aims to develop students’ understanding of persistence and provide then with the opportunities to learn and practice strategies that will help them persevere and overcome setbacks with greater ease.

“A welcomed reminder of the importance of maintaining both positive health and well being of school staff, students and the community. Built on my own personal experiences practicing yoga and meditation and also tapped into a previous incursion held at our school in 2016, Breathe Project - teaching students and teachers the technique of deep breathing.”
