In this conversation, we learn how a school-wide initiative focused on encouraging students to try things on their own led to improved well-being, less discipline issues, and a culture of support and celebration. Principal Geoffrey Bishop shares how the Fort McMurray Christian school took up a program called Let Grow in their specific school context and how students, teachers and parents were impacted. Andrea Keith, executive director of the non-profit organization Let Grow, shares how other students have benefited from being given the opportunity to be independent in their own communities. Practical strategies for giving students more autonomy to improve their confidence and resilience are shared throughout. This is a powerful example of a comprehensive school health initiative in a Canadian school.
