Open Parachute helps support student wellbeing at Wantirna Primary School through its Being Well Model. This program teaches children important life skills such as resilience, understanding emotions, building positive friendships and managing challenges in healthy ways.
A unique part of Open Parachute is that students learn through short videos featuring real young people sharing their own experiences and how they worked through challenges. Hearing from peers helps make the lessons engaging, relatable and meaningful for students.
These lessons give children practical tools to manage emotions, build confidence and support their wellbeing, helping them feel happy, connected and ready to learn.
