Why Do Schools Work With Us?
Schools value their staff, with a mindset that they need to look after their best asset to ensure an effective school. One form of this care is to identify and address stress issues that hinder effectiveness. Our surveys help identify these issues.
As forward planning is an important factor for schools moving into the future, schools and leadership teams use the data and insights that staff offer in our surveys to help determine their priorities in strategic planning.
Schools can often focus on the negatives, but we like to initially highlight the many positive factors that staff identify – to celebrate and to develop further.

What is the Process?
CHAMP Programs works with schools through the following stages:
- Stage 1. Develop Employee Wellness, Support & Development Policy if none exists.
- Stage 2. Design and Implement Employee Wellness, Support and Development Survey (initially developed in consultation with Dr Peggy Kern of the Centre for Positive Psychology at Uni of Melbourne).
- Stage 3. From the results of the Survey, prepare a Report with recommendations that best suits the school’s needs and budget.
- Stage 4. Consult with school leadership and staff to implement appropriate workshops/modules using qualified specialist providers.
- Stage 5. Monitor progress, review and modify as required.
