Today, educators have a critical need to utilise technology to manage wellbeing in every aspect of their days. For many, this means multiple systems and disconnected data, which actually increases workloads and fails to offer the full view of a student, class, cohort or whole school that is essential to providing the information needed to respond in a meaningful way.

In this webinar, our panelists discussed how the new Sentral and Life Skills GO integration provides a solution to the wellbeing needs of schools.

  • How the combined roll call and Emotion Check-in saves time, provides context to learner profiles and identifies in real-time the emotional state of students.
  • The rich data that is made available inside the Sentral Wellbeing reporting.
  • The real world impact of the above on students, teachers and executives from educators who have piloted the integration and assisted in its development.
  • National Check-in Week - 22 May 2023 - the week dedicated to understanding how students truly feel by checking in on student wellbeing and how the new Life Skills GO integration is available free to all schools during the event.
