How CIS Cultivates a Culture of Well-Being
[The content of this article has been produced by our advertising partner.] In today’s fast-paced world, education aims to develop well-rounded individuals who are not just academically successful but also resilient in all aspects of life. At Chinese International School (CIS), we embrace this philosophy through our Visible Well-Being programme. We believe that students can’t learn well if they’re not well, so our programme prioritises the physical, mental, and emotional health of our entire school community.

As part of our goal to ensure that "Each Learner Flourishes”, we aim to empower students to take charge of their learning, build resilience, learn from failures, and develop healthy relationships for a positive emotional life. For over a decade, our commitment to well-being has been a strategic priority, beginning in 2011 with our drive to enhance well-being, which led to a significant partnership with Professor Lea Waters, a leading expert in positive education from the University of Melbourne. Her guidance has enabled us to integrate well-being into our educational framework, policies, and practices. The foundation of our Visible Well-Being program is the meta-SEARCH framework created by Professor Lea Waters that articulates 6 pathways to well-being: Strengths, Emotional Management, Attention & Awareness, Relationships, Coping and Habits & Goals. This structured, data-driven approach helps us make informed decisions in designing learning opportunities that combine well-being with effective learning. The SEARCH framework also provides a common language around well-being, allowing us to integrate dedicated lessons and programmes that align students, teachers, and parents with shared goals. At CIS, well-being is woven into everything we do. The SEARCH framework is part of daily learning, fostering essential skills and a supportive environment. For our students,…
