Most schools recognise the need to improve, support, and nurture student and teacher wellbeing; however, they are challenged with understanding how to start, what to prioritise, how to implement whole school wellbeing, and how to measure success. From our regional school community, we hear that you face unique challenges and have specific needs, which don’t get the attention they deserve in the broader education conversation. 

This webinar discussion specifically focused on the needs of regional schools. Travis Stefanos with Life Skills Group CEO and Founder, Nikki Bonus shared their knowledge, insights, and actionable tips on how to plan, implement and measure whole-school wellbeing with Life Skills Group programs.

In this webinar, on Wednesday 27 October 2021, CEO and Founder Nikki Bonus invites Travis Stefanos discussed his school's wellbeing practices which continue to deliver measurable improvements in student wellbeing and engagement.

In this webinar, our experts discussed:

  • Their strategic and planned approaches to whole-school wellbeing
  • What data they used to inform their strategic direction and evaluate outcomes contributing to the success of their wellbeing practices
  • How to start measuring wellbeing effectively
  • How Life Skills GO supports executives and educators in measuring wellbeing
