“…This fuels the tendency to lose focus in developing whole-rounded students in positive schools. In contrast, this study explores into the opposite of this neo-managerialism of leadership whereby theorists of positive psychology in education put their concern on cultivating a learning climate to foster “all-round students’ education through social, emotional, and intellectual development” (Cain & Carnellor, 2008; Palmer, 2003; Thien et al, 2020). This concern is in line with initiatives to empower positive school attributes as emphasized in the Malaysian Education Blueprint 2013 to 2025 (Ministry of Education Malaysia, 2013).…”

The extent to which school stakeholders perceive positive school attributes remains unclear in the literature. This study seeks to provide an understanding of positive school attributes from the school leaders and teachers’ perspectives in the Malaysian school context. This study employed a qualitative case study research design with 14 informants selected from seven Malaysian secondary schools. The thematic analysis informed six emerging themes: (1) stimulating positive emotion, (2) promoting positive engagement, (3) fostering positive relationships, (4) cultivating positive meaning, (5) nurturing positive accomplishment, and (6) cultivating spirituality in expressing positive school attributes. Fostering positive relationships were specified as (1) teacher-teacher relationship, (2) teacher-student relationship, and (3) student-student relationship. Cultivating spirituality is a newly emerged theme that is added to the unique positive school attributes. These newly added components of the existing PERMA model can trigger further research in positive education studies.

“…School quality of life is considered as one of the indicators of general well-being, and it is considered also as well-being as a result of students' good connection with school life [40]. The high quality of school life has many important implications for students [41,42]. There are several studies indicating that high perception of school life quality of students increases happiness in students [43], reflects positively on learning motivation [44], reduces absenteeism to school and lessons [45], and lowers the sense of alienation to school [46].…”

The results were discussed through the literature review and suggestions were made for researchers and practitioners.
