School Wellbeing Project
Our School Wellbeing Project takes our programs to a whole new level!
A School Wellbeing Project involves Uplifting Australia working in partnership with a school over a 12 month period to deliver a range of services that integrate our strategies into day-to-day school and family life.
The Project benefits the whole school community – including all school children, their families and teachers – providing a highly impactful and cost-effective way to deliver generational change from within a community. By engaging and training teachers the Project can also continue to be delivered by the school independently in future years, making it self-sustaining.
Each School Wellbeing Project is overseen by a local Board and administered by a dedicated Project Coordinator, appointed by Uplifting Australia.
