Inspiring Change: Co-designing a Student-Led Wellbeing Conference in the Middle Years

This masterclass will share Scotch College, Adelaide’s approach to Wellbeing in the Middle Years, outlining the lead into a term focus on ‘Wellbeing Foundations and Practices’ where students earn the honorary title of ‘Wellbeing Scientists’ and conduct research into a Wellbeing related concept. We will then discuss the lead-in and co-designing opportunities for a whole cohort student-led ‘Wellbeing Conference’ open to the community where students share their findings, run workshops for students and families, take on the roles of keynote speakers, and endorse a culture of visible wellbeing. Reasonings, challenges, benefits, and practical tips will be shared so that you can set up a ‘Wellbeing Conference’ in your own school context.
