Student Wellbeing 2026 Preview Day

Suitable for Principals, Deputy Principals & Head Teachers who work in wellbeing The research shows that you can't just ‘plug and play’ a program, because unfortunately it won't work.

Ideally, you need a whole-school approach embedded into the school’s strategic plan that builds a project slowly over time. It has to involve transforming the culture in a way that takes into account all stakeholders; teachers, parents and students.

Join us at the NSW Teachers’ Federation in Surry Hills, NSW on Tuesday 19th August from 9.30 am - 3.00 pm. $129.00 per person WHAT’S INCLUDED Learn how ‘unhelpful’ accommodations of student anxiety are actually making anxiety worse in Australian schools.

Reports (from primary and high school leaders and teachers) where the project is operating.

Hear about the research that has been done by independent researchers into the projects.

Find out how our comprehensive populationchange approach is producing sustainable change compared with a limited one-on-one therapy model.

Upon request we can provide you with a PowerPoint presentation, videos and other resources for you to share with colleagues.

Learn how to prevent teacher burnout and improve teacher wellbeing.

HOW IT WORKS

1 - FULLDAYGROUP WORKSHOP Flexible group workshop Face-to-face Team bonding activities Discussion & practical exercises Personal story sharing

CUTTING-EDGE CURRICULUM BASED IN COMPREHENSIVE PSYCHOLOGY RESEARCH

HOW IT WORKS

2 - ACCREDITATION (OPTIONAL) Those who choose to complete the capability assessment can communicate their accredited status to others in the organisation.

This is perfect for those who want to signpost that they have completed the training course and are now willing and able to proactively have real conversations.

HOW IT WORKS

4 - LIVEMONTHLY MASTERCLASSES FOR A YEAR (OPTIONAL) Join Mitch as he hosts live online seminars each month to refresh and embed the core modules in the Real Conversations framework.

This unprecedented premium access to a global expert in communication & connection means you will receive ongoing top-tier education, personal feedback on real-time challenges, and mental health support for yourself.

Plus, you’ll meet other leaders from different companies walking the same path as you. This network supports you to grow, learn, and serve.

MANAGING RELATIONSHIPS WILL BECOME THE PRIMARY (IF NOT ONLY) RESPONSIBILITY OF A MODERN PRINCIPAL IN THE ERA OF AI. The best way to future-proof your job and your workplace culture is by embedding connection as a core capability. That turns the fly-wheel of high performance.

ARE YOU LEANING OUT OF CONVERSATIONS YOU SHOULD BE LEANING IN TO? Recent studies show that a manager at work is more impactful to someone's mental health than their psychologist and on par with that of their romantic partner. You don’t need to become someone’s therapist, in fact, you shouldn’t.

But! You can play a MUCH bigger role than simply telling someone to go to EAP the moment it gets hard.

Trust and cohesion are built in those hard but human moments where they are looking for your support. You cannot outsource duty of care, you need to build the muscle of care. Effectively communicating with staff is a basic & necessary requirement for people managers to create and nurture high performing teams.

Do you struggle to sustain thriving relationships with your staff: You get stuck in the practical and neglect the emotional needs of your direct reports Think that it’s The Department or HR’s problem’ when someone is not ok Miss warning signs and invitations for help before a staff member is at breaking point Jump straight to solutions like suggesting time off and EAP without trying to understand them Have poor boundaries, over extending yourself to burnout & empathy fatigue Not checking in beyond the surface-level dialogue Feel unequipped to manage safety concerns or handle private information in the right way Shy away from sharing vulnerably or reveal your own humanity through active role modelling

Testimonials

Emailed feedback from a participant in 2024 "I have been teaching for 31 years and this training is hands down the BEST I have ever participated in. On a professional level, I feel so much more stable and feel stronger to tackle the 'hard tasks'. On a personal level I am filled with joy and feel so much lighter." I just want to bottle your knowledge and advice and keep it forever. I can't stop thinking about all of the learning and how it can be utilised. And the deep connections we have made are enormous."

Feedback from a participant in 2014 “It was a highly meaningful and engaging program that supporting learning in areas of leadership that had never been touched before. Narrowing the gap between theory and practice/implementation has been the most powerful part of the program. Practicing skills and having feedback and discussion around the skills was very powerful. It has been the best leadership training I have ever engaged in”

Whole-school community approach to build resilience in children SCHOOL LEADERS

Through the provision of professional learning for school leaders we can help them to design protocols within schools aimed at helping children build resilience.

TEACHERS & SLSOs

Teachers and SLSOs will participate in professional learning to counter anxiety habits in children, as they arise in the school environment.

IMPLEMENTATION COACHES (ICs) ICs will support teachers (through in-class mentoring) and parents (through the provision of parent education groups).

PARENTS By providing family management training for parents, we can equip parents to better deal with a child’s mild-level anxiety at home.

MESSAGE FROM NSWPPA PROFESSIONAL LEARNING OFFICER With most of our Art of Leadership cohorts now full, only a handful of spots remain for the rest of 2025 – so we encourage you to act quickly if you’d like to secure your place.

Momentum is building around our most impactful sessions: Mitch Wallis continues to inspire with a 100% satisfaction rating, while Tough Conversations for School Leaders remains one of our most in-demand offerings.

Thank you to the many who have tuned into our NSWPPA Educational Leadership Podcasts – your support is helping share key insights with leaders across the state.

Finally, a reminder that Expressions of Interest for the Accredited NSWPPA Level 1 Facilitator – FranklinCovey Leadership Content have been extended until 15th August 2025. Submit your EOI here: EOI Submission Link Let’s make Term 3 an exceptional chapter in our shared leadership journey.
