PERMA Plus is the work of Professor Martin Seligman. He has done extensive work in the field of Positive Psychology.  Seligman’s PERMA Plus dashboard is made up of nine building blocks of a flourishing life, they include:

• Positive Emotion, (feeling good)
• Engagement, (being absorbed into tasks/experiencing flow)
• Relationships, (being connected to others)
• Meaning and (living a purposeful life)
• Accomplishment) (feeling a sense of accomplishment)
• + Physical Activity, Nutrition, Sleep and Optimism

Lots of our whole-school work this year will be aligned to the PERMA plus framework; this includes Character Strengths and Behaviour Education Code. Watch this space for more information!

Due to a decision made by DECD, the name of the counsellor has been changed state-wide. The role remains the same, however counsellors will now be known as Student Wellbeing Leaders in all schools.

At East Marden Primary School the Student Wellbeing Leader continues to take a leading role in developing and maintaining a school climate aimed at improving outcomes for students.  The majority of the Student Wellbeing Leaders work is through implementing a proactive and preventative framework.  Our current framework is based on the PERMA + model.
