Choosing a program

What approved wellbeing programs can South Australian schools use?

The South Australian Department for Education keeps an External Wellbeing Programs Directory of programs schools can engage. Growing With Gratitude is listed on that directory.

GWG started in Adelaide and has deep roots in South Australian schools. The SA Government has funded the Adelaide Crows to expand GWG into more schools, with a focus on regional communities, and GWG has delivered the Australian Government funded Naturally Brave program in SA schools.

What SA schools get

  • Whole school presentations and workshops for students and staff
  • GWG HQ: a curriculum-aligned library of lessons, games and posters, with AI tools to adapt and plan
  • Resources for OSHC and a Parent Portal so wellbeing carries beyond the classroom
