NZ's first Visible Wellbeing School

Samuel Marsden Collegiate School

Samuel Marsden Collegiate School takes wellbeing education seriously. They are committed to improving the mental wellbeing and happiness of all students, Preschool to Year 13, at both its campuses in Karori and Whitby.

The Visible Wellbeing approach, in partnership with Professor Lea Waters, is a framework that can be applied to every lesson and activity, academic and co-curricular.

Research has shown that taking an intentional, strategic approach to student wellbeing provides positive flow-on effects to learning outcomes, and gifts each student the skills to manage their own wellbeing, lifelong.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
