Introduction Host Shane Stubbs introduces today's episode focused on Professor Dick Telford's work and the groundbreaking LOOK Study. Shane emphasizes the importance of integrating this research into physical education to drive lifelong health outcomes. Professor Dick Telford's Achievements Renowned as Australia's leading expert in childhood physical activity and exercise physiology. Creator of the Lifestyle of Our Kids (LOOK) Study, which tracks 850 participants from age 8 into adulthood, with research continuing until after 2050. The LOOK Study: A Deep Dive A longitudinal study started in 2005, divided into four phases: Primary School, Adolescent, Young Adult (2024-2040), and Middle/Old Age. Focuses on physical activity, nutrition, fitness, and their impact on bone health, cardiovascular disease risk, Type 2 diabetes, motor coordination, and overall well-being. Key findings have made significant contributions to understanding the links between early physical activity and long-term health outcomes. Connection to "The Perfect Health Lesson" Professor Telford's research provides a strong empirical foundation for "The Perfect Health Lesson," reinforcing the importance of sustained physical engagement for better health outcomes. Emphasizes moving beyond traditional PE programs focused solely on games, advocating for scientifically-backed strategies to improve both physical health and academic achievement. Practical Applications for Educators How educators can adopt LOOK Study methodologies to improve assessments of student physical activity and tailor interventions more effectively. The study's holistic approach, considering family involvement, psychological factors, and environmental opportunities, aligns with the principles of "The Perfect Health Lesson." Impactful Outcomes of Implementing Research-Based PE The LOOK Study's insights can be used to enhance student engagement in physical education, foster positive health adaptations, and establish healthier habits for adulthood. Educators can lead the way in integrating these insights into classrooms and sports programs to create lasting change.

In this episode of the Well-Led Schools podcast, we welcome Tony Cox, founder of Wellbeing Education Solutions, to discuss the important topic of student wellbeing. Tony shares his insights on why prioritising wellbeing isn't just beneficial for students but also makes teachers' jobs easier. When students feel supported, engaged, and emotionally secure, they perform better, reducing the strain on teachers.  Likewise, when educators experience high levels of wellbeing, they are more effective in managing classrooms, fostering positive learning environments, and supporting their students. The episode dives into the interconnected nature of staff and student wellbeing and offers practical strategies for creating a thriving culture of wellbeing within schools.   In this episode, we cover: The interplay of staff and student wellbeing and why it's critical we focus on both at the same time Why effective wellbeing approaches should be holistic, proactive and embedded within a school's culture, rather than s a topical solution How we can approach wellbeing education for kids in schools The value of building self-awareness and emotional intelligence at a young age so students can be empowered to grow and thrive How schools and teachers can contribute towards creating a culture of wellbeing How to involve parents and the school community in the process of fostering a school culture of wellbeing About Tony Cox:  Tony Cox is the founder of Wellbeing Education Solutions, an organisation dedicated to enhancing the wellbeing of both students and educators. With over 25 years of experience as an educator, Tony has taught across various levels, from primary to tertiary, and served in leadership roles, including Deputy Principal. After experiencing burnout, Tony stepped away from education and embarked on a personal journey of health and fitness, becoming a certified health and wellbeing coach. Upon his return to the education sector, Tony focused on helping educators and school communities foster wellbeing, drawing on his expertise in Positive Education, NLP, coaching, and counseling. He has since established Wellbeing Education Solutions, providing consulting, coaching, and support to schools  across Australia. Tony's mission is to empower individuals to achieve peak personal and professional wellbeing, grounded in values of gratitude, respect, authenticity, care, and excellence.

In this conversation we discuss what it means as architects and designers to prioritise holistic sustainability, considering the impact of our proposals both for the people using the spaces we design, alongside the impact on the planet. To reimagine the typology of purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA), with architectural and philosophical ideas, we're joined by Thomas Krarup (Cobe), Chiara Cozzolino and Vicki Odili (tp bennett). The trio share their thoughts on how to get the best out of opportunities for collaboration - especially in our historic, eclectic and nonhomogenous capital city of London- their interest in the intangible elements facilitated by good design such as community, wellbeing, comfort and happiness and how their robust approach to the future of student accommodation utilises lessons learnt from past projects and students lived experience, alongside building physics, scientific research and the latest in computational design. Key term breakdown: Passivhaus. The Passivhaus standard primarily considers key building physics concepts to reduce in-use operational energy. This must be considered in the whole life cycle with embodied carbon to mitigate climate change and deliver meaningful benefits to students and the wider communities. This sustainability accreditation closely aligns with the people and planet-centric approach of the project(s) spoke about, delivering optimum thermal comfort and air quality through a fabric-first approach.

It's claimed the lack of school guidance counsellors in Clare is severely hindering the mental health and well-being of children and adolescents. The Irish Institute of Guidance Counsellors has issued their pre-budget submission calling for the government to employ a suite of measures aimed at tackling a national crisis. Among the key components of the IGCs pre budget submission are calls for an urgent review of the national supply of guidance counsellors and a ringfenced allocation of hours for each and every pupil. Prior to the abolishment of the ex-quota system, secondary schools were guaranteed a minimum of 22 hours of guidance counsellor support each week. Under the current arrangements, the hours are now distributed at the discretion of the principal. However, a survey carried out this year by IGC found that just 4% of members had the full 22 hours available to them to carry out essential duties such as career advice and one on one clinics. Inagh, Green Party Senator, Roisín Garvey says Guidance Counsellors are at the frontline of a mental health crisis and need to be available to engage with students. A Clare Guidance Counsellor believes a dedicated point of contact is required for all schools in the event of crisis management. There is just one counsellor for every 453 secondary school students nationwide, while over 10% of those qualified in the profession are currently out of practice. Last year meanwhile, Clare's Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service dealt with 412 referrals. Guidance Counsellor at Kilrush Community School, Aisling Haugh says teaching commitments can often clash with the duties of a counsellor and that structures need to be introduced to ensure young people are never left behind in their moment of need.

Over the last 20 years, partnerships between schools and law enforcement have become more common with a primary purpose of protecting the school community from active shooters and other violence. Police officers in schools has cyclically fallen in and out of favor. Federal and state funding supporting law enforcement and school district collaboration as well as recent research demonstrates they are a valuable resource.In fact, while there is a priority that School Resource Officers (SROs) protect and respond to active threats of violence within the school community they serve, their value extends well beyond violence prevention and mitigation.SROs provide additional value on a daily basis by integrating into their school community, building relationships, providing teachable moments, and fostering student growth and wellbeing.On the newest episode of School Safety Today by Raptor Technologies, host Michelle Dawn Mooney, sits down with Heather Norred, Lee County Sheriff's Deputy and Lee County Schools SRO, to talk about her role as a school resource officer. Norred has served Lee County as a Deputy for over 13 years but has been in law enforcement for over 24 years. She is particularly passionate about her ability to impact students' wellbeing and how that influences the overall school culture of safety.“That's what I'm here for, is to build relationships with our students so that they have somebody that they can turn to and someone they can talk to,” said Norred. According to Norred, the key to success with law enforcement and school district collaboration hinges on selecting and training the right law enforcement individuals and supporting their training to work specifically in schools and with students.

Some of them do have coping mechanisms; for some of them it's more difficult, but I say the most important thing is to ask, and you will be surprised - if you start your lesson by asking "How are you feeling?" or if your ask a student at the end of lesson "Is everything ok?" - the things that they will tell you." - Maria Mendez on this episode of Wellbeing Tune in in a fortnight when we discuss diet and nutrition with an expert.

John has seen wellbeing become a main focus of universities in his four decades in the educational field. Seeing student wellbeing going from being a topic rarely, if ever, discussed when he was first at uni as a student in the mid 70's to now being a professor in one where it is talked about everyday.   In this episode Prof Fischetti talks about the role of universities with student wellbeing, the improvement in the wellbeing of students since returning from online studies during the lockdown period, the wellbeing topics on the radar of universities, the needs for student to have movement in their day, the wellbeing support services available for students, the pressure of examinations, and how far the area of student wellbeing has come along in his long four decade uni career.  “Some students pull that all-nighter still or they don't really start on their Uni work till 11 or midnight, I've not seen anybody's best work happen then. You feel busy, you might be hyped up; you might be stressed, but what I would rather do is we flipped it.
