In a heartwarming display of dedication and involvement, the recent Family Engagement in Schools workshop in Orange, New South Wales, struck a resounding chord with participants.

Teaching is a blend of art and science, which is particularly evident in wellbeing programs. Every school has a unique approach to well-being, tailored to the needs of their students. Unlike literacy and numeracy, wellbeing doesn't progress in a linear fashion; it ebbs and flows with the variable needs of each student. This ever-changing landscape requires teachers and school leaders to continually adjust their strategies, respond to new circumstances, and manage resources to make the most of every opportunity to ensure students feel seen, valued, and supported.

myfuture final webinars for 2023 are fast approaching. These events will be especially helpful for parents of students who are awaiting exam results.
