About us
Empowering youth for a brighter future.
Living Ripples Ltd is governed by an independent board and delivered by a small team and strategic partners and providers working directly with the school. Living Ripples is working towards a national network of participating communities to help all children and young people to achieve their potential.
Living Ripples is also the name of the for-purpose charity organisation facilitating the Living Ripples process. Living Ripples Ltd is funded by The Phillips Foundation, a private ancillary fund established by Anthony and Liz Phillips. Their focus is that all young people achieve their potential.
Our Living Ripples board, team and strategic partners are experienced educators and experts in building student resilience and wellbeing.
Who we work with
Our strategic partners
Resilient Youth Australia
Resilient Youth Australia (RYA) uses a national data-based approach to measuring and building resilience. Across Australia, over 1.2 million surveys have been completed in over 3,500 schools enabling meaningful comparison with Australian norms. RYA provides Living Ripples schools with the Resilience Survey details and access codes to begin the Living Ripples process and to assist throughout.
University of Adelaide WiLDlab
The Wellbeing in Learning and Development Lab (WiLDlab) within the University of Adelaide researches the everyday behaviours (sleep, physical activity, screen-time and time in nature) and their impact on youth cognition, learning, wellbeing and development. WiLDlab facilitators work with the survey data and facilitate the development of the Student Wellbeing Action Plans and review processes.
Champion Life
Champion Life has created Living Ripples Plus, a real-time self-reporting app with tools and processes linked to the Living Ripples survey results. The program can track and support action plan priorities evaluating how well the school initiatives support student wellbeing and resilience. Check-in questions can be aligned to the school’s priorities by the teaching team supported by a comprehensive induction process.
