Now more than ever wellbeing is on the agenda in education! Cluster 8 has promoted wellbeing in schools for staff, students and families/whānau for many years.

 

Our first on-line Wellbeing Workshop took place in May 2020 during the COVID-19 Lock-down. We spread it over two half-days of presentations and tips to assist schools with their wellbeing journey. 

​

Our Keynote speaker Dr Lucy Hone from the New Zealand Institute of Wellbeing and Resilience spoke about building resilience. Our own RTLB Jan Whitham presented two sessions on Bounce Back: a resilience development programme developed by Drs Toni Noble and Helen McGrath. There were also sessions that showcased the work of Cluster 8 RTLBs and schools in this field.

​

Presentations notes, links and resources from these two workshops can be found on the Noticeboard.

​

Planning is underway for the 2021 Wellbeing Workshop - save-the-date Tuesday 9th March.
