AISHK's wellbeing programme has been created to support the development of young people, who are engaged, connected, resilient and act with purpose. 

Wellbeing Programmes

Our Wellbeing programme emphasizes the importance of physical health, emotional resilience, and social skills among students. AISHK is committed to providing a dynamic and respectful learning environment and curriculum in which students can flourish while advancing their social, emotional and academic capabilities needed to succeed at school and beyond. 

AISHK explicitly teaches values and wellbeing skill through a number of approaches, including:

  • Year level wellbeing curriculum (including practical skills)
  • Daily homeroom check-in 
  • Health and fitness lessons 
  • Cross-school activities
  • Peer support programmes
  • Buddy programmes
  • Counselling
  • Cybersafety awareness
  • Welcoming and orienting new students
  • Social skills development

PROSPER

A working group of staff and students conducted a comprehensive review of what wellbeing means to the AISHK community. As a result, an evidence-based framework, PROSPER, anchored in positive psychology, was introduced. Its implementation is a significant milestone, as AISHK formally lays the foundation for how we live, learn and grow as a community, using a common language for everyday wellbeing. The PROSPER framework is structured around a set of norms. These norms are integrated into the school's practices and programmes that enhance both wellbeing and academic achievement. 

PROSPER in the Primary School

In the Primary School, PROSPER is embedded in everyday learning and interactions. Teachers model and highlight PROSPER behaviours during lessons, group work, and class discussions, helping students understand what these values look like in action. 

Parents will see PROSPER reflected in our shared spaces and assemblies, where positive behaviours and contributions are acknowledged and celebrated. Students also reflect on how they demonstrate PROSPER in their work and relationships, building confidence and self‑awareness.

Teachers use a range of simple, immediate acknowledgements to recognise students who show PROSPER behaviours. At AISHK, attitudes, wellbeing, and connectedness remain as important as academic achievement, and PROSPER supports this balance across our community.

PROSPER in the Secondary School

In the Secondary school, weekly wellbeing lessons draw on aspects of PROSPER. For example, the Positivity norm might be addressed through study skills lessons, while the Relationship norm might be addressed in the Health Friendships unit. 

All secondary teaching staff have completed the Youth Mental Health First Aid training. This is a programme that requires teachers to refresh their knowledge and skills on an ongoing basis. All teaching staff will attend the Positive School Conference to consolidate our whole school to supporting student wellbeing.
