How is it delivered?

Thrive Online 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 including with the support of Youth Opportunities delivering the program remotely.

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.

Why do schools choose Thrive Online?

On completion of the full program, students fulfil the SACE PLP requirements and gain 10 SACE points.

The program simplifies the curriculum and evaluation rubrics, providing efficient and effective PLP assessments.

Thrive can be used to enhance, or complement, other PLP and wellbeing programs.

Youth Opportunities provides comprehensive training on the core program concepts to educators, contributing to their own professional development (minimum 6 hours of professional development hours with opportunities for extension).

Thrive Online measures and reports on program results and student outcomes.

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.
