Page 1: Positive Psychology in Australian Schools

A meta-analysis of more than 200

studies on 275,000 people

worldwide revealed that happiness

leads to more productivity, better

health, strong relationships,

enhanced creativity and greater

energy.

Could the answer be simply

engaging students more and

making them happy at school?

'The wonderful thing about the Orange Frog training is

that anyone can lead it.  It enables all staff to take

charge from administration, teachers, support staff,

secretaries and even our maintenance man'

A study showed that that in year 7,

70% of students observed found

school engaging, but in year 9, this

dropped to 55% (Australian Journal

of Teaching Education).

These are worrying statistics for

both parents and schools. But

what can be done about it?

The results of OECD's latest

Program for International

Student Assessment (PISA),

released in December 2016,

revealed that the decline of

Australian student results is

sector blind. Students in

independent, Catholic and

government schools across

Australia have all seen their

results fall,

Decline in results issector blind

Our workshops have been credited with raising

engagement scores, increasing levels of optimism and

well­being, reducing stress and producing record

breaking business and educational outcomes.

The two-day workshop provides a

blueprint for increasing team,

district and community

engagement and tapping into

people's intrinsic motivations.

People change behavior, and while

organizational change

management approaches usually

fail, people-based change

management approaches can

succeed.

The learning design of this

workshop requires active

participation and offers anexperiential approach to learning.

This design provides an

opportunity to learn proven

positive psychology techniques as

well as an opportunity to learn

from other practitioners in the

workshop and most important is to

have fun.

The Happiness Advantage |

Orange Frog workshop teaches

the seven core principles of the

science of happiness from The

Happiness Advantage. These

principles were brought to life

in Harvard’s famed happiness

course and now to companies

worldwide.
