In Schools

• Wellbeing lessons – Integrate the infographic and activity booklet into weekly wellbeing or health & PDHPE classes.

• Peer mentoring programs – Encourage older students to use the resources when supporting younger students.

• Assemblies – Feature the messages in whole-school or year-level assemblies to promote student voice and safety.

• Parent-teacher evenings – Share the resources with families to strengthen home-school partnerships.

In OOSH Services

• Creative downtime – Use the activity booklet during quiet times or after-school creative sessions.

• Group discussions – Turn key messages into group chats about fairness, inclusion, and safe spaces.

In Libraries

• Resource corner – Set up a wellbeing or “safe space” display using the materials.

• Storytime tie-ins – Pair with books about empathy, inclusion, and emotions.

• Take-home packs – Offer printed versions families can take home and explore together.

In Community Hubs & Centres
