THE RESILIENCE PROJECT ON PRIMARY Building resilience and wellbeing across our school community
At The Lakes South Morang College – Primary, the wellbeing of our students, staff, and broader community is a fundamental priority. As part of this commitment, we are proud to implement The Resilience Project (TRP) – a nationally recognised, evidence-based wellbeing program that equips young people with the tools and strategies to support positive mental health. TRP is centred on proactive mental health strategies that aim to prevent mental ill - health and build emotional strength and resilience in young people. Through consistent, purposeful teaching of the core pillars of Gratitude, Empathy, Mindfulness and Emotional Literacy, our students are developing the capacity to recognise and regulate their emotions, form healthy relationships, and cope more effectively with adversity.
Every week, students from Prep to Year 6 participate in dedicated TRP lessons that are explicitly aligned with the program's evidence - based framework. These lessons are tailored to be age - appropriate and are designed to foster discussion, reflection, and the practical application of strategies in both the classroom and everyday life. Staff at The Lakes have participated in an extensive professional learning program delivered by TRP, both onsite and online. These sessions have significantly strengthened our staff ’ s understanding of mental health education and have equipped them with the confidence and skills to deliver the TRP curriculum with purpose and consistency. Wellbeing is now embedded not only in our student programs but also as part of our professional culture. The positive impact of TRP is evident across our school. Students are increasingly using emotional literacy in their daily interactions and are developing the language and confidence to talk about their feelings. They are engaging in conversations about gratitude, empathy and mindfulness – both within structured lessons and informally throughout the school day.
