At Everton Park Public School,  Aminta and her team are using the Open Roads as part of their reporting system for families, and looking to further extend the program in 2021. I’m hoping to visit next year!

At Moama Anglican Grammar, the students and teachers continue to create activities and resources to make a difference in their school community.  Callum has set up a great committee model and process to ensure the ongoing application of the ideas across the school, and has organised some amazing signs in the school grounds.

I’m visiting there next week. I am always excited to talk to the enthusiastic students and teachers, and learn how they are using and adapting the ideas across the school. Callum and his Get Happier team continue to generate new ideas to implement and strengthen the program.

One of our Get Happier Schools, Glendore Public School in Newcastle, just received 3 excellence awards (Top five in Australia!), in the Australian Education Awards. We are so excited for them and their inspirational principal, Khalil.

Throughout the year, the staff have used the school facebook page to showcase how students are aiming for mental health and wellbeing via the Open Roads. I am looking forward to visiting in 2021, now that we are out of lockdown!

Firstly, welcome to Baulkham Hills North Public School, Sydney who will begin their Get Happier Journey next year, and the Achievement Charter Academy in Raleigh, North Carolina who began the program this year.

I also want to acknowledge the fantastic work of Mudgeeraba State Special School, Brisbane who have embarked on The Get Happier Project with their students and staff. I will be looking forward to hearing more about how each new school has integrated the project into their community.  

Help your children learn how to recognise and manage anxiety, stress and bullying.
