How It Works

Rate your school across six key areas

For each statement, give your school an honest score from 1 to 4. There are no right or wrong answers — the audit is only as useful as it is honest.

At the end, you'll receive a total score that places your school in one of four stages of wellbeing development, along with guidance on what to prioritise next.

What Most Schools Discover

Strong in places. But gaps remain.

Most schools score highly in 1–2 pillars. Very few are strong across all six. This often looks like:

  • Strong relationships, but limited structured support
  • Counselling available, but only accessed in crisis
  • Policies in place, but not consistently lived

And this is where students can fall through the gaps.

What Happens Next

Completing the audit is the first step.

The real impact comes from understanding:

  • Where your specific gaps are
  • What to prioritise first for greatest impact
  • How to implement change sustainably

A THRIVE Consultation gives you a clear, tailored plan — not a generic checklist.
