Wellbeing for Learning Strategy 2024

Message from the CEO and Executive Principal

At The Moreton Bay Colleges, student wellbeing takes centre stage in our educational ethos. Guided by the profound importance of upholding schools as nurturing and inclusive environments, our vision is to create a haven within our campuses where every individual feels secure, cherished, and empowered to thrive. At The Moreton Bay Colleges, we embrace the holistic concept of wellbeing for learning, a cornerstone of our educational philosophy.

Understanding that a student’s success extends far beyond academic achievements, our approach integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of health. This comprehensive perspective is rooted in the understanding that a student’s overall wellbeing profoundly influences their ability to learn, adapt, and flourish. Our commitment to this holistic approach is embodied in the principle of ‘Two colleges, One community,’ whereby unity and collaboration are the driving forces behind our initiatives.

The strategic wellbeing framework we present in this document is a testament to the combined efforts of our dedicated leadership teams. The framework is crafted in alignment with recommendations from the esteemed University of Adelaide, who have been our partners for several years now along our wellbeing journey. In addition, we have been guided throughout the development process by an esteemed professional in the field of wellbeing, Ms Sue Chandler from Transformative Schools. Together, we now have a shared understanding of our wellbeing goal.

We believe that the Moreton Bay Colleges are inclusive learning communities which support academic excellence to harmoniously coexist with the holistic growth of every student. As you delve into the following pages, you will discover the careful planning, the unwavering dedication, and the profound care that have shaped our unique approach to student wellbeing.

A message from the Principal

In today’s rapidly evolving world, the wellbeing of young people in the MBC community lies at the heart of our decision making. Recognizing the critical importance of nurturing the mental, emotional, and social health of students, in 2023 MBC reviewed its current wellbeing framework Hearts and Minds and has reimagined our approach to our 5 wellbeing priorities. One notable shift is moving from an individual understanding of wellbeing to a collective and social system response, which reflects the growing awareness that wellbeing is intricately linked to the broader school and community environment.

For over 7 years, our wellbeing strategies have been framed in terms of the Five Ways to Wellbeing framework - Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning, and Give. These actions and principles remain valuable, however given recent wellbeing research MBC has set out to reimagine them in a more detailed, holistic, and collective context. Current research affirms that a collective and system-level approach to wellbeing in a learning context ensures that learners, educators, parents, and the school community share the responsibility for creating an integrated, supportive and inclusive environment that prioritises the wellbeing of all stakeholders.

Shaped by our faith and the gift that Jesus gave us in the words of John 10:10 ‘ I have come that you may have life and have it the full”, our work to reimagine and re-invigorate the Hearts and Minds Wellbeing Framework to a collective and social system response will ensure at MBC we foster a nurturing environment where our young people not only thrive individually but also contribute to the overall wellbeing of the school community. In doing so, we are preparing students not only for academic success – wellbeing for learning - but also for a fulfilling and meaningful life beyond the classroom, where the wellbeing of all is prioritised and celebrated.

Five Ways to Wellbeing –Hearts and Minds Reimagined

Although we experience wellbeing as individuals, wellbeing is enhanced when there is alignment between the person, the group, and their context¹. Wellbeing is, therefore, something that sits within, between and among us². Reimagining the Hearts and Minds framework to include actions that can be expressed at an individual, collective and school-system level, allows us to build a healthy social context that fosters a sense of belonging and engagement. This is essential for learning, achievement and wellbeing.

Connect Be Active
Notice
Learning
Take
Keep
Give

These aspirational Hearts and Minds statements, reflect our new interpretation of the 5 actions of Connect , Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning and Give .

Priority Focus Areas

Relationships

Strong relationships are our priority, as they cultivate a sense of belonging, trust, and support, positively impacting learner’s emotional, social, spiritual and academic wellbeing.

What supports our thinking:

• Healthy, respectful relationships form the basis of human connections, which can be enhanced by fostering both physical and psychological safety, a profound sense of belonging, and a spiritual connection with God ³.

During childhood and adolescence, the quality of the relationship is at the core of individual wellbeing 4

• Teacher-student relationships are the most important relationships in the school context and have positive effects on students’ mental health when characterised by empathy, closeness, love, care, support, respect and reciprocity 5

• When schools incorporate the value of agreed consequences within a restorative model, it means that relationships are preserved or strengthened, and social learning is accelerated 6 .

• Psychological safety is the foundation of inclusion and group performance and the key to creating an innovating learning culture where students feel safe to take risks 7

Family-school partnerships are particularly important given the long-term nature of the relationship and the potential detrimental effects of poor relations on students, parents and teachers alike. We want teachers to be able to navigate the emotional terrain of their relationships with students and parents 8

Wellbeing for Learning Strategy 2024 | 11

Resilience

The characteristics of our College community and targeted, strength-based interventions will act as both a protective factor for learner wellbeing and promote resilience.

What supports our thinking:

Resilience underpins academic success and career success and is also associated with psychological wellbeing 9

• School resilience is multidimensional and includes a range of protective and promotive factors that assist young people to overcome adversity.

Characteristics of a school environment that act as a protective system for young people’s healthy development include positive relationships with teachers, a sense of belonging, inclusion, participation and mental health awareness 10

Listening to the community

“I

• Resilience is not a trait that people either have or do not have. It involves behaviours, thoughts, and actions that can – or at least to some extent – be learned and developed ¹¹.

• The emotional competence of young children, encompassing the ability to regulate emotional expression and experience as needed, along with an understanding of their own and others’ emotions, plays a vital role in achieving success in school, both socially and academically ¹².

• Life coaching, as a strength-based intervention, is associated with increased hope and cognitive hardiness and significant decreases in depression in adolescent girls ¹³.

Priority Actions – 2023 – 2027

Staff professional development and parent education on child and adolescent resilience and relationship building

• Design of targeted strengths-based and proactive approaches

Environment

We will co-create the built and natural environment to support wellbeing for learning.

What supports our thinking:

• Millennial students need experiential and active learning spaces which involve participation and collaboration and require furniture that enables flexible classroom settings

14

When designed and used effectively, flexible learning spaces provide learning environments where students can experience increased autonomy to make a variety of choices about their learning in a way that fosters self-regulation, collaboration and interaction, whilst ensuring their wellbeing 15

Outdoor learning and play can be instrumental in developing essential personal and social capabilities such as communication, resilience, self-confidence, leadership, teamwork, goal setting, personal autonomy, and initiative 16

Listening to the community

• Our task as educators is to understand that it is vital for children to continually test the limits of their physical, intellectual and emotional capacities and allow children the freedom to take risks in their play, while balancing the need for children to be safe 17

• The design of the physical space plays a primary role in facilitating the development and maintenance of relationships, with indoor and outdoor spaces sending a message that getting to know one another is important, and constructing expectations of how we work, live and play in that setting 18 .

• Australian children spend longer hours in primary school than their peers in other countries. Given that there is no positive correlation between the amount of time students receive formal instruction and how well they learn in school, consideration should be given to increasing the amount of playtime in the Junior school 19 .

“I would love to see a space for Senior students. They are close to being adults, so they deserve to be trusted as independent, autonomous learners.” - Parent
“Given the amount of time we spend looking at a computer, I’d love to do more learning outside.” - Student

• Flexible furniture and learning spaces –both indoor and outdoor - in Early Years, Primary and Secondary

• Early Years, Primary and Secondary refurbishment and renovation programme

• Wellbeing/ mindfulness space in EY precinct

• Bay Café community New sporting facilities

• Refurbishment of Drama and Dance spaces

• Student voice/agency in the design of learning spaces

Priority Actions – 2023 – 2027

Design and development of a wellbeing hub for the College community.

• Optimise learning spaces by applying more flexible and contemporary design principles to both indoor and outdoor and play spaces.

Strategic Enablers

Avenues or mechanisms that promote effective transition from the current state to a better state.

Community Engagement

Harnessing authentic and respectful school-familycommunity partnerships will play a key role in supporting the learning and wellbeing of our students.

What supports our thinking:

When schools and families work together, children and young people perform better, stay connected to the school community, engage with their learning, adopt more prosocial behaviours and enjoy better relationships 20

• When school staff, parents and families appreciate their complementary roles in young people’s learning and education, they increase the collective positive influence ²¹.

• While the benefits of school-parent-family engagement are clear, there is still a gap in how this translates to effective practice in schools and school communities ²².

• The purpose of parental engagement should be to enhance student wellbeing as well as promote academic achievement ²³.

• While many secondary students acknowledge the importance of doing well academically, their ideas of success at school are often broader or different than those of their parents 24

• The changing nature of students and parents, marked by a societal lack of respect for the profession, has been identified through research as a reason why teachers are choosing to leave the profession 25

Priority actions – 2024 – 2027

• Further engage parental involvement with P & F, Parent Reps Committee and other parent representative groups as needed.

• Increase parent participation in school community events

Listening to the community

The communications from the College are timely and well-intended. I have appreciated the personalised communications I have received from teachers. - Parent

Staff Capability

Transforming our understanding of wellbeing and ensuring we create sustainable and positive improvement, necessitates enhancing the capability, skillset and confidence of our staff to serve as effective leaders of wellbeing

Victorian Government, Department of Education and Training. 2019. Safe and Well in Education Framework

What supports our thinking:

Research suggests that when teachers intentionally use positive psychology strategies to support their own wellbeing, it positively affects their teaching practice and student learning. Teachers feel calmer, develop better relationships with students, more consciously look for positive aspects in their students and classrooms become more of a partnership between teachers and students 26 .

• Staff capability has been consistently identified as one of the three key levers of school improvement 27

• High impact professional learning results in a skilled, effective and professional workforce when the following principles are applied 28:

1. Professional learning is targeted and driven by the needs of the role.

2. Principals and leaders provide a shared vision for all staff to develop and/or enhance existing capabilities.

3. Staff are supported to apply professional learning in practice.

4. The outcomes of professional learning are evaluated.

Priority actions – 2024 – 2027

• Build teacher capability by defining Academic Care at MBC

Develop and deliver a programme of targeted professional development on academic care.

• Prioritise the development of a staff wellbeing strategy.

Student Wellbeing Curriculum

We will continue to develop the wellbeing curriculum to ensure it is both content-based and context based, measured for impact and effective as part of a whole school community approach to wellbeing for learning.

What supports our thinking:

• Ensuring student wellbeing and mental health in young people are now global priorities in education 29

• Wellbeing programmes improve academic outcomes, with those likely to have higher impacts on both wellbeing and academic outcomes being those that foster school belonging, mentoring and social-emotional skills 30

• Early learning and school settings are often in a position to identify when children and young people are at risk of poor wellbeing, and to ensure action is taken by appropriate agents to address these needs ³¹.

Listening to the community

• Successfully building wellbeing in students is not simply a matter of delivering a one-off positive education intervention. Rather, they need to be tailored to the school context and embedded across interconnected systems throughout a whole school ³².

• Programmes delivered by ‘trained’ classroom educators (that is, a programme designed to build the capacity of the educator first, supported by resources for learners) are marginally more effective in impacting students’ wellbeing outcomes than programmes delivered by external professionals ³³.

Priority actions – 2024 – 2027

• Review, re-design and implement the College wellbeing curriculum across EY – 12 to develop an evidence and strengthsbased curriculum to provide students with the essential tools to nurture their holistic development and ensure they have a foundation for lifelong wellbeing literacy.

• Professional development for staff delivering the wellbeing curriculum.

“The Positive Minds Programme is extremely valuable and has helped me deal with stress, solve problems and make and keep friends.”Student

“The transition programme into Year 7, which includes the Hearts & Minds ‘group counselling programmes’, is excellent.” - Student
