What our partnership schools have to say

Embedding the key philosophy of GEM into our everyday practice has helped us embed a culture of holistic wellbeing.

I have witnessed the engagement of our students and their roaring laughter listening to Martin Heppell, as they learn about how to become individuals who truly value the wellbeing of themselves and others.

The resources for both staff and students are of a high standard and their use provides quality lessons with reduced stress and burden on teachers to source information and create materials to support the content.

The most notable shifts we have observed are students being increasingly grateful and showing up to school with a more open mindset and positive attitude.
