Partnering Together for Student Wellbeing: Introducing the TRP Parent & Carer Hub

By Roland Lewis

At Glen Waverley Primary School, we believe that wellbeing is a shared journey—and that the most meaningful growth happens when students, families and teachers walk the path together.

 

This year, our students are engaging in weekly lessons with The Resilience Project, exploring four key pillars that help build resilience and emotional wellbeing: Gratitude, Empathy, Mindfulness, and Emotional Literacy. These practices aren’t just classroom activities—they’re life skills that support positive mental health, help children connect meaningfully with others, and strengthen their capacity to bounce back from challenges.

To support families in continuing this important learning at home, we’re excited to introduce the Parent & Carer Hub—a free, online space filled with practical resources, activities, and ideas that align directly with what your child is learning at school.

By visiting the Hub, you’ll find:

  • Evidence-based strategies to help embed GEM (Gratitude, Empathy, Mindfulness) and Emotional Literacy into daily life.
  • Fun and simple activities to do as a family that reinforce these wellbeing skills.
  • Access to The Imperfects podcast—real stories from people who share their struggles and learnings in a way that’s honest, relatable and often uplifting.
  • Insights into how these strategies are helping students across Australia thrive.

Together, we’re creating a consistent, supportive wellbeing culture that extends from the classroom into the home. Whether it’s pausing for a moment of mindfulness before dinner, expressing gratitude at the end of the day, or helping our children name and navigate their emotions, every small practice makes a big difference.

Warmly,
