Student wellbeing has been a concern for many the last couple of years with New Zealand having the third-highest rate of school bullying out of 36 OECD countries and the fourth-highest youth suicide rate in the world.

Young people often hide how they are feeling as they are too nervous to bring it up in conversation, as well as being worried about what people will think. For those in education it is very difficult to have a pulse on where your student wellbeing is at and therefore what level of pastoral care needs to be provided.

Wellbeing Solutions has created a platform that makes it easy for you to check in with your students with our mass SMS communication capability or by scanning a QR code and answering a couple of quick questions. This can be done by having posters in your classroom or communal areas such as the library or common rooms. It enables young people to scan and share their wellbeing status whenever needed.

You get alerts when the forms are completed, which enables you to take immediate action if required. You also have access to a full suite of reporting, giving you the opportunity to assess the data. This can then be used as a basis for reviewing or creating wellbeing strategies and for having discussions with parents about any issues they may need to be aware of.

Wellbeing Solutions truly is your proactive pulse on student wellbeing. It is simple for your students to access with no app to download and removes the barrier to having that initial 'scary conversation'.
