A Character Strengths curriculum has been shown to increase school success and life satisfaction.
Campbell House School is implementing a Strengths-Based Positive Education model to support the wellbeing of our whole school community.
Our Story implementing the Strengths-Based Model
First we made a plan: Positive Education Plan (DOCX 37KB)
Then the staff explored their strengths and the strengths of others by identifying individual strengths, discussing the 24 strengths, displaying their strengths, and getting creative with strengths webs.
Our next step was to introduce it to the students through assembly presentations introducing the strengths one by one, for example Resilience.
We then decided to focus on seven target strengths for our school, and are currently in the process of developing logos for each of these strengths.
Our initial target strengths are:
Social Intelligence - awareness of other people's motives and feelings. It is being able to speak and act to others appropriately
Here is a Powerpoint presentation that was delivered at assembly to introduce the strengths by Class 5.
In another assembly the strengths were re-enforced by Class 6 to embed the language across the school.
A program was put together to support students in understanding and implementing these strengths.

There are also a range of activities that take place at CHS to support the chosen seven strengths and ensure they are embedded across the school.
