STRETTON INSTITUTE WEBINAR COVID-19 AND ITS IMPACT ON SCHOOLING, TEACHING AND STUDENT WELLBEING An estimated 1.29 billion students worldwide enrolled in primary and secondary schools are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. School leaders and teachers have been asked to take immediate steps to develop and implement strategies which mitigate the educational impact. This Stretton Institute webinar through a panel of experts will discuss the unprecedented disruptions caused by COVID-19 to schools and schooling and analyse policy responses by governments in Australia and globally. COVID-19 disruptions not only have an impact on educational outcomes for students but also affect teachers’ feelings about teaching, the profession more broadly and teachers’ wellbeing. Extensive Australian and international research has found that teachers are the most critical factor in student achievement and satisfaction. As nations experience COVID-19, schools can provide regeneration and hope. This webinar will explore issues related to teachers, teaching and wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Presenters will explore how COVID-19 impacts teachers’ professional practice, wellbeing, school culture and policy.

Building Community Resilience and Wellbeing Report
Building Community Resilience and Wellbeing Report Associate Professor Lindsay Oades Director, Australian Institute of Business Wellbeing, The University of Wollongong This paper was prepared for the Mental Health Commission of NSW to support the development of the Strategic Plan for Mental Health in NSW 2014 – 2024 October 2014 Report on Building Community Resilience and Wellbeing Background Within the Strategic plan for mental health in NSW by the NSW Mental Health Commission, the ‘Building Community Resilience and Wellbeing’ journey represents one of eight population focused journeys through mental health and mental ill health. If we can prevent mental ill health and promote good mental health, the benefits will flow not just to individuals but across the whole community. Resilience is relevant to all people at any stage in their life and at all times before, during and after the onset of mental ill health. It is about wellbeing for the entire population—people of all ages who are currently well, at risk of or experiencing mental ill health. Building Community Resilience is consistent with the NSW State Plan 2021 and in particular the goal to keep people healthy and out of hospital and improve mental health outcomes. At the service and illness prevention level, this goal requires us to focus our efforts in prevention and early intervention in the community and shift treatment away from hospital emergency departments. This journey is about equipping both individuals and the community to take action reduce the impact of mental ill health and through this, address the stigma still associated with mental ill health. The transformation needed however goes much broader, adding a whole of community responsibility, and including wellbeing of all the population.

Episode 16 Transcript Talking Teaching with Maxine Mckew and David Kolpak
EPISODE 16 TRANSCRIPT TALKING TEACHING WITH MAXINE MCKEW AND DAVID KOLPAK 0:00 Maxine McKew I’m Maxine McKew and this is Talking Teaching - music - 0:10 XX Our school psychologists have just become part of a team. There’s no stigma around it, it’s just part of what makes us human - music - 0:25 Maxine McKew Hello again. Today’s podcast considers a compelling field of interest, that of positive psychology. There would not be too many schools in the country that don’t have concerns about the psychological wellbeing of their students. Over and over principals report that they feel they’re dealing with almost an epidemic of stress, anxiety, even self harm among young people. It’s exercising a lot of minds. An emerging response is to flip the problem to look at the ways schools and communities can intervene early and actively teach strategies around wellbeing. That’s what the all boy school St Peter’s in Adelaide has been doing for over seven years. Here’s David Kolpak, one of two teachers in wellbeing describing his approach at St Peter’s 1.15 David Kolpak For a long time, boys were always told you know we didn’t talk about emotions and we don’t talk about our feelings. It didn’t mean they weren’t there. So what we have actually done, and we start these programmes with our three year olds so they learn degrees of emotion. A boy might have said I’m mad or I’m sad or I’m happy, but they know degrees.

Newsletter Term 1, 2019
Newsletter Term 1, 2019 Dear PESA Members, With our fifth National Conference now behind us, how grateful we are to all participants for playing their part in such a profound community-building and learning event. It is inspiring to reflect on the outstanding breadth and quality of work being done by universities, researchers, parents, health professionals, communities, governments, school leaders and educators. We are united in our commitment to an evidence-based approach to growing the wellbeing of our young people and the wider community. A special vote of thanks to our conference committee – what an achievement, and certainly no mean feat to coordinate and curate 7 keynote presentations, 15 masterclasses, 3 discussion panels and over 50 workshops and ‘Inspire’ presentations. This is the first time our national conference ran in Queensland and we were delighted that 400 delegates joined us from a diverse range of schools and organisations from Australia, as well as abroad. Standing amongst our delegates was very humbling indeed, as we learned together, laughed together, and even cried together. As Pauline Carrigan from Where There’s a Will reflected, we are all links in an ever- growing chain, and draw our strength from each other. For those who purchased a non-member ticket, we are delighted to welcome you to the PESA community. We will contact you again shortly with further information when your membership has been activated. We are now gathering and collating footage of presentations and presenter slides, and we will be in touch to advise when those are available on our website. We are committed to continuous improvement of our conferences, and if you attended, we would love to hear your feedback.

Building Better Schools with Evidence-Based Policy
Building Better Schools with Evidence-based Policy Building Better Schools with Evidence-based Policy: Adaptable Policy for Teachers and School Leaders provides an extensive set of free-to-use policies for building better schools. The policies included in this book cover a broad range of popular topics for schools that are not readily accessible, and each policy is built on theory, driven by research, and created by experts. Each policy is based on sub- stantial evidence, and this is ensured through the inclusion of contributors who are active and highly reputable in their respective fields. Most schools are obliged to write and maintain policy, and not all school leaders have the required skills, time, or expertise to do this effectively. Building Better Schools with Evidence-based Policy: Adaptable Policy for Teachers and School Lea- ders is a time-saving resource for schools. It aims to address the reported research-to-practice gap in education by delivering accessible evidence-based practice in a ready-to-use, adaptable format. All policies within this book are designed to be adapted and tailored to the unique diversity and needs of each school as reflected by the context and the people that make up the school community. This book is relevant to every person who works in a school – worldwide. Users of this book can rest assured that each policy has been carefully for- mulated from the current understandings of best practice. This is a practical innovation and an example of how schools can use research evidence in their day-to-day practices. Kelly-Ann Allen is a board-endorsed Educational and Developmental Psy- chologist and senior lecturer within the School of Education, Monash Uni- versity (Educational Psychology and Inclusion).

Introduction The NSW Wellbeing Collaborative is an initiative of the NSW Mental Health Commission and was formally launched in June 2015. Members of the Wellbeing Collaborative believe in the value to the community of organisations working together to pursue wellbeing goals. Common, inclusive wellbeing language and definitions are needed to provide leadership and encourage the formal promotion of wellbeing across government and non- government sectors. The overarching objective of the Wellbeing language and definitions guide is to provide a resource to enable cross agency and community level collaboration on wellbeing—considering wellbeing at the community, organisational and individual levels. It also provides guidance on the accepted literature on the science of wellbeing, or a starting point if there is no accepted literature.

Chair's 2019 Report for 2020 PESA
Chair’s 2019 Report for 2020 PESA AGM It’s my pleasure to report to our members on the achievements of your Association over the past 12 months. 2019 was indeed another successful year for PESA. A key achievement for the year was the finalisation of the PESA Positive Education Guide, to which many of you have subscribed and we thank you for your support. This substantial guidebook was edited by the PESA CEO and Board, and is the result of over 18 months’ work. We believe it to be a world first – a resource which brings together current theory, research and best practice in the field. This guide was a collaborative endeavour, and we thank the many experts who provided input on this important resource. It was professionally edited and launched in December 2019. I do commend it to you if you haven’t already purchased a copy. We were very pleased with our annual national conference in April, with around 400 delegates in attendance from across Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, USA, China and Canada. The conference was held at RACV Royal Pines, Gold Coast, Queensland. This location, not being in a capital city and therefore somewhat more remote, resulted in lower attendance than the 2018 conference hosted by Geelong Grammar School in Melbourne. This was anticipated by the Board, which was of the view that to reflect our status as a truly national organisation committed to serving our members across the country, it was important to locate the conference in a state where it had not yet been offered.
