How SchoolTV can support educators
SchoolTV delivers the greatest impact when it is used consistently across the whole school community. This guide outlines how educators can use SchoolTV in complementary ways to strengthen wellbeing practice, build shared understanding and support positive outcomes for students.
Build knowledge and confidence
Use SchoolTV as an ongoing professional learning resource to stay informed on emerging wellbeing issues and trends, supporting confident, positive conversations with students and families to enable early intervention and preventative strategies.
Save time and reduce workload
Rely on ready-to-use, expert-led SchoolTV content (Editions, Special Reports, Resources, KEYpoints flyers) instead of sourcing or creating materials yourself, while maintaining consistency across the school community.
Support classroom wellbeing discussions
Use age and developmentally appropriate resources to support classroom learning. In Primary settings, resources support structured activities, while in Secondary videos and resources encourage discussion and deeper understanding, helping build meaningful connections between educators and students.
Extend learning and ensure consistent messaging
Use the platform to maintain aligned, consistent messaging across the school community. Refer families to specific SchoolTV content to continue wellbeing conversations at home, ensuring students receive consistent messages both in the classroom and at home.
Respond to student or parent concerns confidently
Use SchoolTV to guide informed one-to-one conversations, helping educators respond appropriately and connect families to trusted resources.
Highlight Strengths and Past Success
Remind children of previous changes they have managed successfully. Reflecting on strengths, skills and coping strategies helps build confidence and reinforces the belief that they can manage new challenges.
Support Connection and Belonging
Strong relationships help children navigate change. Encourage connections with peers, teachers and trusted adults. Feeling known and supported at school plays a key role in successful transitions.
Watch for Signs of Ongoing Difficulty
Temporary changes in behaviour, mood or energy are common during transitions. If concerns persist, intensify, or interfere with daily functioning, seek guidance from your school wellbeing team or a health professional for additional support.
Model Confidence and Calm
Children often take emotional cues from adults. Approaching transitions with calm reassurance, realistic optimism and problem-solving helps children feel safe and capable during change.
Stay Connected with the School
Maintaining open communication with teachers and wellbeing staff helps ensure concerns are identified early and support is aligned. Sharing information supports smoother transitions and consistent responses across home and school.
