Student Wellbeing
Our school is totally committed to ensuring the health, safety and wellbeing of every member of our school community. Langwarrin Primary has partnered with Elisabeth Murdoch College, Langwarrin Park Primary and Woodlands Primary to create the Langwarrin Positive Education Network. Together, we strive to improve wellbeing at a school and community level.
Positive Education brings together best-practice teaching with the science of Positive Psychology, to help all students reach their academic and personal potential. Based on the research, we have developed ‘THRIVE’. Our THRIVE model outlines 6 simple actions you can take to build robust levels of wellbeing, which are: TRY your best, be HEALTHY, RELATE well, get INVOLVED, live your VALUES, ENJOY positive emotions.
