Ninety-four schools and counting!
Congratulations to the growing number of Living Ripples schools and students. Ninety-four schools and over 5,900 students so far. There are individual schools and local clusters of schools which is helping Living Ripples work towards a national network of participating communities to help all children and young people to achieve their potential.
What the Living Ripples process provides schools is evidence, analysis and support to design their own tailored and locally led student wellbeing initiatives.

Student Wellbeing Action Grants
The Living Ripples Board is soon to announce a grants program to help support schools implement their wellbeing initiatives. Schools are eligible to apply for assistance for programs and services once they have completed their survey and action plan. Grant applications are reviewed four times a year, usually towards the end of each school term by the Board. Schools are advised soon after. More details will be announced soon.
Wellbeing Grants Provider Feature
Living Ripples Plus
Living Ripples Plus is a service designed to support a school’s monitoring and measurement of its School Wellbeing Action Plan focus areas. Living Ripples Plus helps schools focus on specific priorities from within the school wellbeing action plan through an online interactive tool.
The program enables schools to quickly capture insights from students with real-time, self-reported data, tools, and processes to support the school’s wellbeing priorities. Data is provided by the learners, collected, analysed and available via the Living Ripples Plus Classroom Portal for the teachers to review and evaluate. Access to the program is through the Living Ripples Community of Practice page.

A cluster approach to Living Ripples
Across the Brimbank City Council area, a metropolitan community west of Melbourne’s central business district, an increasing number of schools are participating and collaborating through the Living Ripples process to build a geographic community of practice. In three years, there has been a 50% increase in uptake with 26 schools currently engaged: 12 secondary schools and 14 primary schools. Read about this partnership approach among schools and Brimbank City Council to collectively help meet and expand local services that young people tell them they need.
