Staff Development Day Week 5:
Pastoral Care and Wellbeing Focus
Staff will be undertaking professional development facilitated by Professor Andrew Fuller with a focus on student wellbeing at the College. As a clinical psychologist, Andrew Fuller works with many schools and communities in Australia and internationally, specialising in the wellbeing of young people and their families. Andrew has some exceptional resources available to support parents with their teens, inclusive of his work on tips for motivating teens. Andrew provides insight for Parents in understanding how brains learn and how to increase dopamine and motivation to assist them in motivating their learning and organisational habits. Parents have a vital role in helping students: manage time, manage energy, manage stress, manage to get everything in at the right time and in the right place. Parents are encouraged to review Andrew’s website for links to various articles on assisting your students with resilience and learning.
