Positive psychology

In partnership with St Peter's College, Mount Barker High School is piloting Martin Seligman's positive psychology theories in education. The positive psychology framework is based around the PERMA framework, which requires only saying things in the positive, rather than the negative. Methods include peer mentoring and open opportunities to work on "open mindsets". [1] [2]
