Special thanks to Nancy Herrick and Leaja Horne, the visionaries who have worked to make this school a happy place for learning!…and go to this link at the bottom of the home page where Christina shares how this underlying philosophy builds wellbeing and improves outcomes for children.
NOTE: The Dragsters in the background!!
Just some of the hundred teachers from Everton Park State School and Stafford Heights State School after a 2 day Get Happier workshop. Watch this space as these creative and inspired people show how they are preparing children for a happier life!…and at the same time, having fun 🙂
I attach a few zoom images from a presentation by Colleen Hope, Principal at Mudgeeraba State Special SChool at the recent William Glasser Institute International On-Line Symposium.
The program has been brilliantly adapted to the needs of the school population at every level, and is part of the conversation every day of the year.
If you are a school that is interested in the program, this remarkable school is a must visit!
At Gorokan Public School, the environment and curriculum integrate the program through colourful images, music and song, and fantastic signposts to remind everyone and provide guidance as to the most optimal choices available. Thank you Gorokan for the way you are intentionally preparing children with the skills for a happier life 🙂
If you want to see how the program works, a visit to Gorokan will be an enlightening and inspiring experience!
A big shout out to Aminta and her team at Everton Park, who have just been endorsed as a Glasser Quality School. Having completed a rigorous process and demonstrated outstanding success through their educational programs,(including the Get Happier School), this school is making a real difference to lives and wellbeing of their children and families!
