Redefining Success in Schools

2025-05-27T13:27:37+08:00

Imagine opening your child's school report to find something different from the usual grades and test scores. Instead of letters or percentages measuring maths or English, you read comments highlighting how your child handled conflict, connected meaningfully with peers, or bounced back after setbacks.Picture your child being celebrated not just for academic achievement but for real-life moments of growth: taking responsibility for a mistake, supporting a classmate through a tough time, or stepping outside their comfort zone and trying again after failure. That's a different kind of success—one that speaks to character, emotional intelligence, and resilience. Isn't it time we started recognising and celebrating it?

Addressing Youth Loneliness and Social Anxiety

2025-05-29T02:50:12+08:00

She's surrounded by notifications, followers, emojis—but deep down, she feels isolated. Unnoticed. Alone.This isn’t a rare case. It’s becoming the norm.In classrooms, schoolyards, and homes across Australia, young people are battling a creeping sense of disconnection. And the irony is stark: at a time when they’re more digitally connected than any generation before, many are lacking the one thing they need most—true belonging.

Why Shielding Kids From Risk Might Be Holding Them Back

2025-04-29T06:39:05+08:00

In our efforts to keep young people safe, are we robbing them of the experiences they need to grow? It’s a question more parents and educators are beginning to ask as we reflect on what children truly need to thrive in an uncertain world. For decades, we’ve been refining ways to keep young people safe—physically, emotionally, and socially. But somewhere along the way, our focus on safety may have gone too far.

2025-03-24T10:41:13+08:00

Christmas can be a uniquely challenging time of year for parents and teens. It only comes around once, so the occasion is loaded with cultural meaning, heightened expectations and emotional turbulence. The good news is that with a little forethought and planning, you can include your teens in the process of reshaping the significance of Christmas, avoid potential conflict, and strengthen your relationship.
