I had a great week conducting a Certification with a group of wonderful teachers from three Get Happier schools. This was the culmination of years of learning, self evaluation, and practice. Congratulations to this group whose skill and creativity was on show, and who demonstrated high-level teaching, counselling, and managing skills. We were privileged to visit classrooms to see at first hand how the children were loving learning the skills to get happier. The signage around the schools provided a wonderful visual backdrop to support quality relationships and learning outcomes. A special thanks to Everton Park State School in Brisbane, where teachers, children, and parents are supported to get the best out of their lives.

Ms. Davis\’s class started an exciting lesson series called Open Roads, and the first topic is \”Accepting\”. Her students talk every day about accepting yourself, your mistakes, others, and what others bring to the table! One student is Persian and they celebrate Nowruz which is the welcoming of Spring and a fresh start to the world! Students loved learning about each other through these unique and personal experiences!

A great curriculum adaptation from Ruth King for secondary school students. Congratulations, Ruth as you prepare young people for life!

Introducing the first new sing-along song in the series, Songs for Travelling on the Open Roads. The Listening Song will take you on a journey via the Open Roads.

Kim Burns, a talented musician, is behind the creation of the Open Road songs. She has put her heart and soul into the music, which is evident in the quality of the production.

This thoughtfully crafted song has a catchy melody and relatable lyrics that will keep you hooked from start to finish. You will find yourself humming to the catchy hooks and tapping your feet to the infectious beats.

The Open Roads contain growth mindsets and affirmations that increase happiness, resilience, and well-being and improve relationships. The dragsters introduce the Open Roads through games, activities, stories, and posters. They are also available as colouring pages on the Kids Dragtrack page. Why not colour in while listening to the song?

As children learn and practice these new mindsets, they begin to think their way to a better life, using empowering and positive thoughts that give them the confidence to tackle challenges and enjoy life. What better way to reinforce these positive skills than through a catchy tune?

The Songs for Travelling on the Open Roads series of songs will entertain you and inspire you to explore your emotions and experiences. So sit back, relax, and prepare to embark on a musical journey like no other.
