WELCOME TO ISSUE 1 OF THE WELLBEING IN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS MAGAZINE A very warm welcome to issue one of the Wellbeing in International Schools Magazine. I am so pleased and proud that this magazine is the result of a burgeoning collaboration between WISEducation and School Management Plus. The aim of all of the stories, experiences and knowledge shared in these pages is to help advance discussions about wellbeing in the international school context (and beyond!) As schools catch glimpses of signs that we are collectively moving forward, it is great to see that wellbeing, relationships and care are being prioritised. The fact is that wellbeing has long been a part of the work that schools do, but the pandemic has shined a light on new ways of thinking about and examining our approach to wellbeing in education. I can't thank every single contributor enough, this magazine would not exist without you, and education is all the better for you being a part of it. This is a bumper issue jampacked with brilliant and insightful articles, and as a collection it seeks to broaden the ways we think about wellbeing, exploring how it is embedded in our interactions, our relationships, how we learn to deal with conflict, how we help build important social emotional skills, and how we learn to be in the world. I hope you enjoy the issue, take what is helpful to you and continue to come back and dip into ideas as you please, as well as grow these conversations in your own school. Thank you.
