Commissioned School Resources

Wellington Boys College

Commissioned a learning resource to support students who have breached agreement around the safe and responsible use of digital devices at school.

Instead of a punitive approach, leaders wanted to provide positively focused learning opportunities so students could delve deeper into their role in an incident, its’ impact on self and others, and steps to take to remedy what’s happened.

‘Bite-sized’ evidence-based learning, prompted by powerful images, videos, and questions was the outcome.
