Nominations with more detail are more likely to be successful.
The Wellbeing and Student Support Award celebrates academic staff members who prioritise and promote student wellbeing. This award acknowledges the exceptional efforts of educators who go beyond their role to support the mental, emotional, and physical health of their students.
The Wellbeing and Student Support Award recognises that student success best occurs in contexts that foster their individual and collective wellbeing.
Promoting wellbeing includes care at an individual level but goes beyond that to include intentional action by educators that helps students discover, develop and embrace their professional, personal, and cultural identities, and access the resources they need to flourish.
We all need these people in our lives!
Nominations should try to identify efforts made by teaching staff such as regular check-ins with students, appropriate signposting, supporting students during assessment, creating inclusive, accessible, connected and collaborative learning environments, and promotion of positive mental and physical health practices.
