What our partner schools say
““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.””
““The UPP online modules have been a great addition to our schools Clan program. The easy to follow lesson plans have made the teachers jobs easier, with resources and introductory games that are not only engaging, but extremely relevant in an ever changing landscape.””

““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.””
““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.” ”
““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.””
““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.”
”
““Students found the activities that we used from THRIVE, even more engaging than guest presenters.”
““Instructions are very easy to follow and the activities are student-friendly.””
““The feedback from teachers has been extremely positive! Students were really engaged and enjoyed the information being presented. The website is really easy to use and is accompanied well by the student workbooks.””
