We're excited to share with you the first in a series of 'Deep-Dives' into real schools across Australia, who are regularly using wellbeing data to evidence improvement in their wellbeing programs and provide differentiated support to all students.

Ryan Doherty, is the Mental Health and Wellbeing Leader at Nichols Point Primary School in Victoria. The school has over 400 students across 18 classes and manages a spread of social, resilience and anxiety issues. Ryan and his team were looking to deliver consistent wellbeing support based on student voice to ensure their programs were targeting the right areas of the school and helping all students, not just tier 1 groups.

In this webinar you will hear:

  • How their check ins evolved from anecdotal and ad-hoc to consistent, focused and easily recorded by all classes to ensure teachers and leaders knew where to allocate their time most efficiently.

  • How the LIfe Skills GO platform was trialed to ensure suitability and implemented via an integration with their existing Sentral roll-call and wellbeing data processes, that meant staff weren't overwhelmed and students were given agency over their wellbeing journey.

  • What wellbeing at Nichols Point looks like after nearly a year of using Life Skills GO!
