“By using UPP’s resources within our school, we are helping to build Grit within our students, and putting ourselves on the path to improving their well-being and grades.”
— Hayley Moore- Head of Junior Secondary, Ferny Grove SHS
“The variety of source material is effective and the staged modules work well with our students.”

“82% of teachers who have used THRIVE Online Modules report that it is more helpful, relevant and engaging than resources they have used in the past.”
— THRIVE online follow-up survey 2017
“Our College has worked with UPP for three years. We have found the Thrive resources (unlike many brought in products) actually work in developing the students understanding of the topics of Growth Mindsets, Grit and Well-being. The sequential planning of each topic, all chunked into short interactive lessons able to be taught in a form period have not only helped staff articulate these key skills but enabled the students to engage through the Learn it, Live it, Teach It, Embed it model and make these skills part of their daily routines. This is a great investment for any College looking to promote SEL as part of the workings of their institution.”
— Richard Clark- Head of Secondary- The Springfield Anglican College
“The THRIVE resources are a wonderful introduction to vital concepts such as growth mindset, grit and wellbeing. The resources are easy to access and the teachers find them very dynamic and easy to interact with. The feedback from our students has been extremely positive. The support that Luke and his team have provided in terms of implementation of the resources is also seconded only by the enthusiasm and passion that they have for educating students in the field of positive psychology.”
— Paul Sochanik- Positive Education & Wellbeing Coordinator- Varsity College
“Thrive has given us a great range of resources to use in our Pastoral Care program. Teachers find it easy to use, and it’s great to have a research-based program to work from.”
— Amanda Huxham- Year Level Coordinator- St Peter's Lutheran College, Indooroopilly
“This resource is relevant, current, topical and student-friendly. The lessons are well-prepared, well-researched and are easily implemented by the teachers charged with delivering the lessons. I whole-heartedly endorse these resources.”
— Chris Bugden- Pastoral Programs Leader, St Eugene College.
