St James’ Primary School, Muswellbrook, strives to help our teachers, students and parent community thrive and flourish. Current statistics show that Weeks 5, 6 and 7 of each term is the time where many students and staff become sick and mentally and physically run down.
Around 39 teachers from Diocesan schools across the Upper Hunter attended the three day Positive Education in Schools Association conference at the Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast.
Research shows that high levels of mental health are associated with increased learning, creativity and productivity, more pro-social behaviour and positive social relationships and creates improved physical health and life expectancy.
