PEEC- Positive Education Enhanced Curriculum.

PEEC stands for Positive Education Enhanced Curriculum. It is a research-based, developmentally sequenced curriculum for students from Early Learning (age four) through to Year 12 (age 18). Drawing on over a decade of Positive Education experience at Geelong Grammar School (GGS), PEEC was developed in consultation with world-renowned positive psychology researchers and a number of experienced teachers. It offers a structured approach to wellbeing education that supports teachers and adds value to their expertise in delivering Positive Education.

First piloted across all GGS campuses and in schools both nationally and internationally, the curriculum has now been used in hundreds of schools around the world.

The Value of PEEC

With 26% of young people in Australia experiencing mental health issues, there is a clear need for preventative measures that empower and equip students to navigate the increasing complexity of the modern world. Teachers and schools are already doing incredible work to support student wellbeing, however, growing pressures mean they need reliable, research-based resources to strengthen their impact.

PEEC provides this support through an explicit, evidence-based curriculum for dedicated Positive Education lessons. It complements the implicit Positive Education practices that take place every day through pastoral care, coaching, and teacher–student interactions. During PEEC lessons, students are taught key wellbeing concepts to help them face life’s challenges well.
