| Summary |
This is the story of one school's development of a more holistic approach to education, with student wellbeing at its heart. Developed from the science of positive psychology, positive education aims to teach children, young people, and adults the skills and mindsets that will enable them to live flourishing, fulfilling, and resilient lives. This book explores the introduction of this ground-breaking programme within the context of Geelong Grammar School's liberal, holistic education philosophy. |
