Course outline:

 The wellbeing of both staff and boarders are vital to cultivating and sustaining healthy high performance, as individuals and as a community. This seminar will give delegates the opportunity to review, consider and plan the development of a culture of wellbeing across their whole school.

After events surrounding COVID-19, people are more conscious of pressures of work and home life, and a need to be proactively working to develop a safer, healthier, and happier culture for everyone, and this includes an awareness of wellbeing and mental health risks. Boarding is a fantastic environment to both live and work in, but it also comes with its own demands both physical and emotional. These can impact students and staff, and the wellbeing of both directly corresponds to each other. As a school, a commitment to putting wellbeing at the centre of strategy and decision making offers a strong framework for success for everyone involved; students and staff alike.

Training topics will include:

  • What is wellbeing? Exploring what you are trying to achieve by defining what you mean, and looking at developing positive habits
  • The pressures we face – looking at the pressures boarders face, and how to support effectively
  • Building a positive culture – embedding a structure of positive habits throughout the school
  • Looking after yourself – positive role modelling and sustaining a good life/work balance.

Learning outcomes:

  • A greater understanding of how a culture of wellbeing can be built and embedded
  • A robust framework on which to build positive habits for healthy high performance.
