Wellbeing at OPPS 

The Resilience Project- Parent and Carer Hub

Throughout 2023, we will continue to work closely with The Resilience Project to support the wellbeing of our school community. The Resilience Project delivers emotionally engaging programs and provides evidence-based, practical strategies to build resilience. Our Partnership Program consists of online presentations and weekly lessons for students, professional development for staff, and Parent & Carer Hub (inc. digital presentations) for our parent and carer community. 

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing the Parent & Carer Hub with you. The videos are 5-10 minutes long and will walk through the key pillars of resilience with some new content: Gratitude, Empathy, Mindfulness, Connection & Vulnerability. You’ll hear stories and be introduced to activities to show how these strategies can support your childrens' learning and development, and also support you as parents and carers. This program is an important part of our school’s effort to look after the mental health of our community.
