Prosper Wellbeing Curriculum

Wellbeing at Iona College is based on the Positive Education Model to encourage and support students and staff to flourish. The program being delivered to students focuses on specific skills that will assist them to strengthen their relationships, build positive emotions, enhance personal resilience, promote mindfulness, and encourage a healthy lifestyle.

It is our hope that students not only experience a positive school culture and environment, they are also taught how to enhance their personal wellbeing, deal with life’s challenges, live a life of meaning and purpose, strengthen their relationships with others and God. Such lessons set students up to prosper both here and beyond the gates of Iona College. The Positive Education Model developed for Iona outlines seven specific areas.
