Relationships

Building Positive Relationships: The Foundation of Wellbeing, Behaviour, and Effective Learning

As a school leader, you know that strong relationships are the backbone of a thriving school. They shape how students feel, how they behave, how they learn, and how they respond to challenge. Yet relational practice is often addressed only when things go wrong — when conflict escalates, engagement drops, or behaviour deteriorates.

This interactive webinar offers a proactive, research-informed approach that gives your staff the skills to build positive, resilient relationships from the start.

Healthy relationships make a measurable difference to student wellbeing and teacher satisfaction. Both words and actions matter. Small gestures, tone, expectations, consistency — teachers often underestimate the difference these make. This course helps educators recognise what is within their control, focus on the positive and the possible, and use relational tools that genuinely transform the classroom climate.

During this interactive webinar, participants will:

• Clarify why relationships are so critical to well-being
• Extend awareness of how relationship quality influences life at home and at work
• Identify what is involved in a healthy relationship
• Examine evidence showing how relationships impact student wellbeing and engagement
• Explore how the ASPIRE principles inform relationship practice
• Identify strategies that help teachers establish and maintain positive relationships with students, especially those who are challenging
• Discuss practical ideas to improve relational quality in their own settings

Through discussion, practical reflection, and evidence-based insights, teachers leave with a deeper understanding of why relationships matter — and a toolkit to begin strengthening them immediately.

What your school gains by investing in this course

◾A calmer, more positive learning climate
Strong relationships reduce conflict, increase cooperation, and help students feel emotionally safe and ready to learn.

◾Improved student well-being and engagement
Healthy teacher–student relationships support emotional regulation, resilience, motivation, and academic participation.

◾Reduced behavioural incidents and teacher burnout
When teachers understand how to prevent escalation and strengthen connection, daily interactions become easier and more rewarding.

◾A coherent relational framework for the whole school
By grounding practice in shared principles (ASPIRE), your staff aligns behaviour, pastoral care, inclusion, and learning strategies.

◾Practical techniques teachers can use immediately
The strategies shared in this webinar begin improving relationships from the very next lesson.

◾A foundation for long-term well-being and SEL implementation
Participants also explore how social-emotional learning strengthens relationships and resilience, positioning your school for sustainable wellbeing initiatives.

By investing in this course, you strengthen the human heartbeat of your school: the relationships that support every learner and every adult to flourish.

This is the training that elevates wellbeing, behaviour, engagement, and learning — because every improvement starts with connection.
