Certificate in Positive Education
Research, models and practical activities for Schools

Positive Education emphasises the importance of training and development of the traditional academic skills together with the skills of wellbeing. Beyond the academics, Positive Education aims to teach students to live well, even after the schooling years.

With interest rising in Positive Education, many people are looking for a research-grounded yet implementation-focused course that they can learn evidence-based tools that can be implemented back in schools. For this reason, Orego is partnering with Australia’s Positive Psychology Institute to deliver the highly regarded ‘Certificate in Positive Education’ workshop in Singapore! This course has been conducted numerous times in Australia garnering excellent responses from participants.

Our workshop facilitator, Dr Paula Robinson, hails from Australia, one of the few countries in the world heralded as being at the forefront of Positive Education research and practice. Paula travels globally to share her rich research and practical experience working with parents and schools in Australia and those internationally. 

At this workshop, international research findings are accompanied by powerful ideas and practical exercises to help you implement Positive Education in your educational setting. You will develop your own Positive Education Action Plan to be implemented in your school.
