BRIGHT P-12 College is continuing to build the resilience of its students.

Principal Jean Olley said the college is committed to deliver The Resilience Project as a core part of its approach at secondary level "to give equal value to wellbeing and learning because we know that when students feel well, they learn well".

Recent independent evaluation by Monash University of the The Resilience Project in schools across Australia found students had higher levels of life satisfaction, hope and the ability to cope with challenges; 34 per cent lower likelihood of experiencing anxiety; and 47 per cent lower likelihood of experiencing depression

"When schools implement the program well - with strong teacher engagement - the mental health benefits for students are twice as high compared to schools with lower-quality delivery," Ms Olley said.

"This year at Bright P-12 College, two of our secondary leading teachers, Tash Tough and Mel Worth, are passionately and professionally implementing the program with our

secondary teachers during the home group sessions in the mornings.

"By focusing on practical strategies like gratitude, empathy and mindfulness, we’re helping students build the emotional skills they need to thrive at school and beyond."
