This keynote session will challenge some preconceptions about wellbeing, provoke thought about behaviours we consider normal and hopefully inspire rituals that ensure both a healthy carer and emotionally resilient students.

Getting the Balance Right - Well Behaved Vs Wellbeing
A well behaved child doesn’t guarantee a happy child, but a happy child is certainly more likely to behave well.
Could schools be holding the wrong end of the stick when it comes to behaviour management?
George Barbas

Encouraging and supporting children to set and acheive goals is one of the best ways we can nurture a child's expectations and fulfil their potential.

Glimmer of Hope
Tools to power hope in children through metaphor, narrative and dialogue.
My Dad taught me that a bad tradesman blames their tools. I have spent much of my life developing good tools to use in social and emotional wellbeing and pastoral care with children. Tools for powering hope.
If you were only allowed to keep one useful resource what would it be?
This will be a hands on workshop to explore powering hope in children and how to use metaphors, stories and conversation when helping children through sticky social and emotional situations.

‘Dads and Lads’ – engaging with and empowering fathers and sons.
Boys need good men on which to model themselves. ‘Dads and Lads’ sessions at St Stephen’s School, Carramar, provide opportunities for fathers and sons to have fun together, to interact positively with others and to learn from one another. It gives boys a chance to learn from and model themselves on one of the most significant people in their lives, their Dad, as well as learning from other Dads. These sessions complement the BUZ programs that run across the primary school.
