Wellbeing

As the school year hits the half-way mark, many Year 6 students and their families will be starting to think more about the move to high school next year.

The pioneering tool that has underpinned school improvement in Australia over the past decade has been updated to reflect the latest evidence about what actually leads to every student learning successfully.

The South Australian Government has launched a directory of effective student wellbeing programs, developed with support from the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER).

A new report recommends the most effective ways to support and encourage students’ good behaviour in classrooms.

In January 2023, ACER updated the national comparisons for the Social-Emotional Wellbeing (SEW) survey to provide schools with a more accurate representation of the wellbeing of Australian students. 

ACER is supporting Life Ed Australia to design online professional learning platforms to engage teachers, deliver quality professional learning and ultimately improve students’ educational outcomes.
