BOUNCE BACK! STUDENT RESILIENCE AND WELLBEING PROGRAM
Bounce Back! is a wellbeing and resilience class-based program that has been drawn from Cognitive and Positive Psychology models. It is a whole school social and emotional learning curriculum program that offers positive mental health, wellbeing and resilience for students and teachers plus safe and supportive class and school learning environments. It teaches practical strategies to help children and young people function well at school and in life.
Each week at our whole school assembly ‘Fill the Bucket’ comments are shared with our school community. During the course of each week, students are given the opportunity to thank or be grateful to other students in our school that have helped them emotionally in some way.
