Wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at AISHK.
AISHK's wellbeing programme has been created to support the development of young people, who are engaged, connected, resilient and act with purpose.
Wellbeing Programmes
Our Wellbeing programme engenders the importance of physical health, emotional resilience, and social skills among students. Our school is committed to providing a safe and respectful learning environment so all members of the school community can flourish and advance the social, emotional and academic capabilities needed to succeed at school and beyond.
AISHK explicitly teaches values and wellbeing skill through a number of approaches, including:
- Year level wellbeing curriculum (including practical skills)
- Daily homeroom check-in
- Health and fitness lessons
- Cross-school activities
- Peer support programmes
- Buddy programmes
- Counselling
- Cybersafety awareness
- Welcoming and orienting new students
- Social skills development
PROSPER
A working group of staff and students conducted a comprehensive review of what wellbeing means to the AISHK community. As a result, an evidence-based framework, PROSPER, anchored in positive psychology, was introduced. Its implementation is a significant milestone as AISHK formally lays the foundation for how we live, learn and grow as a community, using a common language for everyday wellbeing. The PROSPER framework is structured around a set of norms. These norms are integrated into the school's practices and programmes that enhance both wellbeing and academic achievement.

PROSPER in the Primary School
In the Primary school PROSPER is made accessible to students via the, You Can Do It programme. This programme includes a set of characters through which teachers can tell the PROPSER "story" bringing learning to life and modelling what PROSPER means for them. 
When a student displays one of the PROSPER behaviours teachers have different tools they use to instantly acknowledge and reward students for their commitment to the school's values. Attitudes and behaviours and feeling accepted are as much a part of a AISHK education as is academic success.
PROSPER in the Secondary School
In the Secondary school weekly wellbeing lessons draw on aspects of PROSPER, for example, the Positivity norm might be addressed through study skills lessons while the Relationship norm might be address for the Health Friendships unit.
All secondary teaching staff have completed the, Youth Mental Health First Aid training. This is a programme that requires teachers to refresh their knowledge and skills on an ongoing basis. All teaching staff will attend the Positive School Conference to consolidate our whole school to supporting student wellbeing.
