The Resilience Project at Mary MacKillop Catholic Regional College

Since 2013, Resilient Youth Australia has surveyed more than 750,000 young Australian school students, aged 7-18 years, using international gold standard mental health scales.

This work has resulted in a peer-reviewed publication, such as Centofanti et al. (2019) 'Establishing norms for mental well‐being in young people using the General Health Questionnaire,' Australian

Journal of Psychology 71:2, DOI: 10.1111/ajpy.12227.

This report presents all your student mental health data in one place. It includes six (6) gold standard measures of mental health, each reported by year level and gender against Australian Norms. The six measures reported are:

Life Satisfaction

Hope

Anxiety

Depression

Coping

Connection to Nature

During Term Two the College surveyed all students to provide a “construct view”. Multiple items make up the construct view and feedback is provided to the College through our online portal.

In addition, university partners of the Resilience Project have developed three key measures presented in scatterplot format:

Resilience Score (Life Satisfaction & Hope)

Healthy Mind Score (Anxiety & Depression)

Ready to Learn Score (Anxiety & Coping)

In order to understand resilience, it is vital to develop a knowledge of Hope. See below.
