Growing Strong Minds is a whole school approach to character development and emotional and mental wellbeing. It promotes social-emotional learning in students, helping them develop self-awareness, self-control, and interpersonal skills, all of which are vitally important for school, work and life outcomes.
Social-emotional learning develops understanding and skills to:
- nurture a positive sense of self
- promote respectful relationships
- build capacity to manage emotions, behaviours and interactions with others.
Through Growing Strong Minds, students learn about the 24 character strengths and look at ways to develop and grow these strengths.
