Creating a School Culture of Kindness and Acceptance with Jeanette Black The Flourish Movement

    • Self-Improvement

Now, more than ever, it is critical that we look after the wellbeing and mental health of our school leaders. The Flourish Movement provides a space where leaders can take off their professional armour, sit with their colleagues, be supported and have real conversations to share their experiences and learn from each other.

Dr Adam Fraser is a peak performance researcher with a PhD in Biomedical Science. Along with Principal Bob Willetts, he will be introducing you to some of the amazing school principals that are teaching our kids and leading our schools all over Australia.

In this episode, Principal Jeanette Black tells us about how she has successfully created a school community that practices empathy and inclusion on a daily basis. Under her leadership, teachers, students and parents learn to respect others, embrace differences and proactively work together to ensure that everyone feels that they belong.

Jeanette opens with a moving story about how she welcomed a new child to her school who had a history of being bullied and undermined because of a physiological disfigurement. How did Jeanette ensure that this behaviour was not repeated by her own young cohort? She joins us on The Flourish Movement to tell us.

We want to welcome more Principals to The Flourish Movement, so to find out more, go to The Flourish Movement.com. And you can help us spread the work about The Flourish Movement by sharing the podcast and giving us a 5 star review. The Flourish Movement podcast was created on First Nations land. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. The Flourish Movement podcast was edited by Aimee Chan and is brought to you by the NSW Primary Principals' Association. Thanks for listening.
