Whole-school Wellbeing Initiative


Research shows that student wellbeing and student outcomes are deeply intertwined. Strengthening this connection calls for a cohesive, coordinated approach that reflects each school’s unique context.

Drawing on the Australian Student Wellbeing Framework that identified goals to support student wellbeing, AISNSW’s Whole-school Wellbeing initiative supports schools to identify and implement evidence-based strategies. Through collaborative partnership, we help schools develop a shared vision and coordinated plan for wellbeing that spans all levels of the school community.

What are the outcomes?

Who is involved and what is the timeline for implementation?

All K-12 staff, including specialist and support staff, are encouraged to be involved in the Whole-School Wellbeing Initiative.

A dedicated Whole-school Wellbeing Team is established to lead the implementation of the initiative within the school. This team may consist of staff with various roles and responsibilities across the school.

The initiative is implemented over the course of the school year. Components are sequenced to support school progress, maintain momentum, and build on prior learning – with the goal of embedding and sustaining effective whole-school wellbeing processes and practices.

Participation in the Whole-school Wellbeing initiative is based on a co-contribution model and is partially funded by the governement.

This project is partially funded by the Australian Government through the Choice and Affordability Fund.
