At the German International School Sydney, we are passionate about the wellbeing of all our students. Research shows that wellbeing is a critical aspect of how people grow and learn, and is directly linked to improved academic achievement, enhanced mental health and responsible life choices. Our wellbeing framework, based on the PERMAH model, guides our whole school approach to cultivating social and emotional learning skills, and fostering optimism, resilience, and confidence. The GISS Junior Secondary Wellbeing Curriculum builds upon the Wellbeing Framework to further embed wellbeing and positive education into the heart of school.
In addition to the curriculum, which is delivered to students from Y5-10 during class teacher time, GISS has worked with the following providers for prevention and support measures.
- Unleashing your Personal Potential
- Life lessons
- Dr Mark Williams
- Truwell
- KYDS
- The BEN/Youth Up Front
- Nadiah Karim: Mental Wellness Prevention & Recovery Space
- NSW Police Youth Liaison Team
