Transforming School Culture Through Positive Psychology

Welcome! We are dedicated to enhancing school communities by integrating the principles of positive psychology and enhancing psychological safety utilising a strategic framework.

Our mission is to help schools create environments where educators feel supported, students thrive, and the entire community flourishes.

How WHOLE SCHOOL STAFF are supported:

Utilising an appreciative inquiry model that investigates the work of a number of positive psychology scientists with our PHAREST framework; taken from ‘pharo’ meaning light and ‘rest’ which signifies guidance and wellbeing. It is a seven (7) element framework that appears simple yet profoundly connects ourselves to our internal and external worlds to flourish and live with purpose.

We develop and enhance:

  • Collaboration with Leadership Teams: Providing guidance to enhance school culture and communication.

  • Evidence-Based Strategies: Implementing positive psychology practices to improve resilience, positive communication, strengths and values, emotional management, and engagement skills.

  • Sustainable Change: Cultivating an atmosphere where educators feel valued, leading to a positive ripple effect on student success.

  • Individual and/or Team Support: Recognition of strengths, values and beliefs that are tied to how expectations are met and managed within teams.

By embedding these proven strategies into daily school life, we can build a culture of emotional resilience, collaboration, and growth. Let’s work together to create a flourishing school environment where both staff and students can thrive.
