What if wellbeing is the key to better learning?

What if we stopped treating wellbeing as an extra in education and started recognising it as a foundation for how students learn, teachers teach and schools thrive?

Join internationally recognised researchers for a thought-provoking evening that challenges conventional approaches to wellbeing in schools and explores what the latest research means for education.

Building on the success of our inaugural 2026 event, which attracted 382 registrations from 75 schools across five countries, this free public symposium brings leading international research directly to Adelaide.

Featuring researchers from Adelaide University, Monash University, the National Institute of Education (NTU Singapore), The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and The University of Melbourne.

What Makes This Evening Different?

Challenge conventional thinking: Discover why wellbeing may be fundamental to learning, not simply another school program.
Hear directly from international experts: Explore emerging research and fresh perspectives on education.
Ask the questions that matter: Join an interactive discussion about the challenges facing students, teachers and schools.
Take away new ideas: Discover how research can inform everyday practice in classrooms, schools and communities.

Who Should Attend?

Everyone is welcome! Teachers, school leaders, parents, education students, researchers, policymakers and community members.

No specialist knowledge is required.
