Our Learning Curve is based on the PERMAH model of wellbeing. We describe a healthy state of wellbeing as: feeling optimistic and hopeful for today and for your future, because you know that you are working towards becoming your best self. The evidence based lessons and activities in the Learning Curve Curriculum are layered and align with ACARA’s F to 10 HPE Curriculum and both the Resilience, Rights & Respectful Relationships and Building Resilience: Social and Emotional Learning research for F, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10 & 11-2 from the Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne. Teacher Lesson Guides have been created to support you in confidently teaching every lesson/activity in all planners and journals; individual guides are on our website under the Wellbeing Program tab. To assist the adults in students’ lives to develop a heathy state of wellbeing in themselves, we have created the Wellbeing@School Journal for staff, and the Wellbeing@Work Journal for parents. Our Learning Curve team travels far and wide conducting staff wellbeing days and providing professional development for teachers, parents and leadership teams on how to best implement and embed our program.

Research clearly indicates, that when both students and staff are experiencing a healthy state of wellbeing, significant personal and academic growth occurs within the school community.

Character Strength Weeks There are six Strengths Weeks spread throughout this planner. They provide you and your class with opportunities to practise using your strengths to build a resilient state of wellbeing. They are also fun to do at home with your family. The order of these weeks is: Gratitude, Kindness, Bravery, Honesty, Creativity, and Teamwork.
CHARACTER STRENGTH WEEK
KINDNESS WEEK There is a Japanese saying which says that one kind word can warm three winters. Being kind to others and to yourself are great ways to live a full and happy life and make a positive difference in the world. Kind acts don’t have to be big. A smile or saying hello are more than enough to be kind to others. This week make Kindness Walls both in your classroom and at home for your class and your family to write down or draw acts of kindness they received or did for others or themselves, that they are grateful for. This Week’s Kindness Gratitudes: write down or draw acts of kindness they did for others or themselves, and ones they are grateful they received.
