Around The College
Brentwood Secondary College will continue partnering with The Resilience Project in 2024 both through ASPIRE lessons for Years 7 to 10 students and using this framework to support the College values and increase the positive climate around the College. The Resilience Project also supplies information and resources aimed at supporting parents and families too.
The Resilience Project
The Resilience Project is committed to teaching positive mental health strategies to prevent mental ill-health and build young people’s capacity to deal with adversity.
Teachers and students will engage in weekly lessons and activities around the key principles of Gratitude, Empathy, Mindfulness (GEM) and Emotional Literacy to build resilience.
