Wellbeing school programs for secondary students

School Program

Shine’s Wellbeing School Programs for Secondary Students are designed for adolescents, to build and develop positive relationships to self, community and nature by developing life skills and knowledge that empowers health and wellbeing. 

Why is wellbeing advocacy in education so important for our children?

The school setting, its community and its overarching culture, is the most powerful platform for health promotion and advocacy, only secondary to that of family setting.

A young person’s school community and setting is therefore a well acknowledged and most ideal place for public health promotion and advocacy, providing consistent and considerable opportunity during developmental life stages to model and influence health behaviours. 

Health education within the school setting, engaging with young women at such an influential time in their development and when delivered within a community setting, is paramount to both the short and long term health outcomes of Australia’s expanding population.
