About
Flourishing at School is a cloud based software platform for schools who want to excel at whole school wellbeing. The term “flourishing” denotes a high level of wellbeing characterised by positive emotions, engagement (or flow), positive relationships, meaningfulness and accomplishment.
Importantly, Flourishing at School cannot be used to diagnose or treat mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. Rather it is designed to assist schools work with staff and students to help them remain mentally healthy and optimise their wellbeing.
Given that about half of all people who develop a mental disorder in their lifetime have their first experience before the age of 14, and 75% before the age of 25, the school years are an ideal time for young people to develop knowledge and skills to prevent mental illness and to flourish.

Pastoral care
Schools can choose to provide staff permissions to access either individual or aggregate student wellbeing data. This can include either the Student Flourish Survey or VIA Survey. Your school may also elect to provide you with access to student wellbeing goals.
This information can be highly beneficial in order to promote positive pastoral care conversations focused on development of wellbeing knowledge and behaviours.
Schools must obtain parental consent before providing students with a Flourishing at School account and providing teacher permissions to access student records.
Confidentiality of staff engagement in the FlourishDx app
All staff who use the FlourishDx do so anonymously. Your employer will not be able to see your individual survey results or what information you access within the app. If the school administrator has requested you to complete a survey or eLearning content, they will be able to see your progress towards completion.
The school administrator will be able to view a summary report of staff survey results – which is useful for schools wanting to understand the current state of staff wellbeing, and track wellbeing over time. To protect anonymity, summary data is only available after a minimum of eight staff have completed the survey.
