The Resilience Project @ Glen Waverley Primary School

Welcome to another exciting year of learning at Glen Waverley Primary School! Here at GWPS we believe that mental health and wellbeing play a crucial role in achieving success. That’s why we have partnered again this year with The Resilience Project to deliver an evidence-based and scaffolded wellbeing program across the school.

In The Resilience Project students focus on four key wellbeing ideas: Gratitude, Empathy, Mindfulness and Emotional Literacy. Below is a quick refresher about these four key components and their benefits.

As always, we encourage families to join in the wellbeing conversation at home, as research suggests that a strong school-home partnership and consistent messaging deliver the greatest impact to support students’ mental health and wellbeing.
