Is there a wellbeing program for small and rural schools?

Yes. Growing With Gratitude works for schools of any size, including small, rural and remote schools, and offers discounts for smaller schools. Everything is online, so distance is no barrier.

Why GWG suits smaller schools

  • Composite classes. The lesson adapter changes any lesson's year level and length, so one lesson works across a mixed class.
  • Small staff. One login gives every teacher lessons, planners and a relief pack builder, with no specialist staff needed.
  • Regional experience. The SA Government has funded the expansion of GWG into more schools with a focus on regional communities, and GWG has delivered the Australian Government funded Naturally Brave program in SA, NSW and Queensland.
  • Community connection. The Parent Portal brings families in, and the World's Biggest Gratitude Lesson connects your students with schools around the world.
