THE RESILIENCE PROJECT

 ‘The Resilience Project’ runs programs in schools around Australia. The aim of these programs is to develop students’ resilience and improve their mental health. Hugh van Cuylenburg is the founding director. There are 2 programs available for schools to choose from: Partnership Program and Immersion Program.

In 2019 we introduced the ‘Immersion’ program which included a professional development session for staff, student presentations and a parent night which provided strategies for parents to support the development of a resilient child at home.

As we are a ‘Partnership’ school, we have been following The Resilience Project curriculum, which is closely aligned to the personal and social capabilities in the Victorian Curriculum.  The ‘Partnership’ program includes:

  • The Resilient Youth Survey for Years 3-6 students

  • A Resilience Profile Workshop for staff which focuses on the school’s survey data and how it relates to The Resilience Project curriculum

  • A personal student journal containing The Resilience Project Curriculum

  • A Teacher Resource and access to additional resources via The Resilience Project resource hub

  • Ongoing support in regard to program delivery and evaluation

  • Additional lessons and curriculum support on current world events that explore resilience and mental health.
