Since its launch in 2017, the Staff Wellbeing Toolkit has been undertaken by almost 10,000 individuals from over 300 Australian schools and this number continues to grow every day. Additionally, the program has been adopted by the NT Department of Education, South Australian DoE, Queensland DoE, across numerous catholic dioceses and has also been delivered to schools across New Zealand, Africa, Finland and the USA.

Module Outlines

Know thyself: addressing and overcoming challenges
This module begins with an exploration of the psychological and physical effects of stress and anxiety. Participants are encouraged to identify their own stress and overload markers and consider practical brain tools (e.g. mindfulness, meditation, breathing exercises, visualisation, questions) and coping strategies to regulate and manage stress responses.

Building and developing resilience
We can’t avoid challenges in the workplace, but we can build our resilience to assist us to identify, manage and bounce back from challenges more effectively. This module focuses on practical and effective ways to build both personal and team resilience. The focus is on practical skills to identify and maintain wellbeing across the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions.
Module

Mastering the art of influence and wellbeing
This module builds on the previous modules to present further practical and relevant psychological tools to master the art of influence, greater regulation of ourselves and greater influence of others, therefore enhanced role modelling of health and wellness, greater influence of others, particularly our team members with a focus on support around health and wellbeing.
Module
05
Career and professional wellbeing
This module attends to our career focus and the impact that this can have on our overall health and wellbeing. We explore ‘career transitioning and planning’ as part of this module, the imperative of networking from a strategic perspective, with an emphasis on aligning our passion, gifts and purpose with our work and career, for the ultimate benefit of enhanced health and wellbeing.
Program Structure
By integrating the program into the school’s existing rhythms, very little additional time is required from staff. The program has a simple and accessible structure built around five modules. Each module comprises a 15 minute expert video tutorial followed by a 45 minute interactive peer learning session. The modules are designed to be rolled out at a convenient pace determined by the school.

A small investment for
long term benefits
The Staff Wellbeing Toolkit represents a low cost but high impact investment in the long-term health and happiness of all staff. A fee of $95 is payable by schools for each staff member included in the program.
This introductory module looks at current research and explores trends and implications for all staff. The focus is on the importance of prioritising wellbeing and incorporating practical strategies into life and work.

Program snapshot:
Every day, schools across the world start their journey towards improved
wellbeing and social capital via the Staff Wellbeing Toolkit.
The Staff Wellbeing Toolkit utilises robust evaluation tools to provide schools with important measures of both wellbeing and social capital before and after its application. Reporting back to staff on improvements further increases engagement and social capital.
Demonstrable results and
measurable outcomes
The Staff Wellbeing Toolkit equips existing school resources to champion and lead wellbeing initiatives. Through building internal capability, schools are able to drive meaningful, long term improvements without relying on costly external resources.

I’m pleased because the Toolkit has improved the wellbeing of those staff who participated - our results indicate as much. Staff wellbeing was one of our focuses for this year – it is a focus every year of course, but we wanted to attempt something more direct.
Naturally, the improvements in wellbeing have significant ongoing benefits for the learning community, which makes for a happier school and an easier life for me.
To enable individuals to take a proactive approach to their own wellbeing and develop the mindsets and behaviours which will support them through challenging times.

To contribute to improved student outcomes through enhancing staff engagement, wellbeing and connectivity.

An all of staff approach
to health and wellbeing
The Staff Wellbeing Toolkit offers school communities a way to work together to address common issues and challenges. Through increasing collaboration and trust, the program builds social capital enabling staff to be more supportive of one another and function more effectively as a community.
Designed to dovetail with monthly staff meetings, the Staff Wellbeing Toolkit has a convenient modular format allowing for a flexible delivery approach. The design of the program is sympathetic to the rhythms of the school environment ensuring minimal disruption to existing workloads.
