How is it delivered?

Thrive@School can be delivered by a school educator, in a classroom setting, via an online platform, or it can be customised to meet varying student needs and outcomes.

The program and educator resources are designed to enable various levels of blended learning, with suggested opportunities for educator facilitation of group discussion, reflection, knowledge sharing, and deeper learning. Each of the concepts are delivered in a module form, and can run as weekly lessons over a semester, or in a more flexible format.

An evidence based program backed by 25 years of successful delivery

The Thrive@School Online Personal Leadership Program is built on Youth Opportunities’ 25 years of practical experience in working with young people. Thrive Online combines extensive research from a broad range of theoretical underpinnings, including motivational theory, cognitive behaviour approaches, social learning theory, and positive psychology.

The things I learnt in Thrive will set me up for life. They were simple concepts, but no one ever took the time to explain how important they were before.
