“…This is despite SCs' professional values and capabilities, such as strong interpersonal skills, conflict resolution skills and evidence-based strategic decision-making being seen as key to excelling in leadership positions (Augustyniak, 2014;Roufeil, 2018). Furthermore, given the role ambiguity and role conflict that plagues the profession, SCs are often assigned irrelevant duties that detract from their primary focus and impact their professional status (Bozkurt, 2014).…”

“…Individual counselling and therapeutic support are seen as the SC's 'bread and butter', and traditional school counselling has focused on students who are struggling with learning, behavioural or mental health difficulties. However, with the advent of Positive Education comes a paradigm shift for school counselling programs, with a renewed focus on prevention and early intervention alongside the more traditional therapeutic and critical incident response (Bozkurt, 2014). Given that flourishing whole school communities are the aim of Positive Education, the SC's target population should shift from students with problems to all students, teachers and parents/carers, as part of a holistic mental health and wellbeing strategy.…”

As the field of Positive Education gains traction globally, there is a recognised concern around sustainability. Many schools utilise external providers to engage and educate schools on ‘wellbeing science’, which in the main is comprised of research from the field of Positive Psychology. This often involves a significant financial and time investment, and while most schools have good intentions for their desired end states, often the initial motivation for change is impacted by the many competing responsibilities occurring within a school setting. Those schools that have successfully implemented strategic and sustainable approaches often continue to work with an external consultant who guides the school to successfully apply their learnings. Many schools, however, are unable to fund ongoing consultancy and are required to utilise their own internal resources. In many cases, this is the inspired and motivated educators who are keen to support the initiative, yet who are generally time-poor, often with other learning and extra-curricular responsibilities. More often than not, the school counsellor has not been consulted or included in these initiatives. We explore the potential role of the school counsellor in providing guidance on the implementation of a Positive Education approach aimed at improving mental health and wellbeing and performance.

“…They have a mission of two main objectives that are different than the traditional mission of education [7]. Particularly, the first mission is to create a learning climate that enables students to use their creative capabilities to take information and reconstruct them according to their own perspectives and personal capabilities [8]- [10].…”

Abstract-Nowadays, one of the biggest challenges almost all teachers face is how to motivate students to be more eager, focused, and engaged in their learning process. Positive psychology is used in education as a framework for improving students' positive emotions like joy, contentment, and gratitude, which in turn increases both their wellbeing and learning performance. This study showcases a prototype of integrating positive psychology into a 9th grade English class, and examines how students' engagements flourish and thrive through specific learning experiences. Before the prototype lesson, the teacher was trained about how to use positive language and phrases with students, how to link the theoretical concepts to students' interest, and possible ways to motivate them to be more involved in the lesson. The prototype lesson plan was prepared by the researchers and conducted by the English teacher. Data were collected through class observations as well as interviews with the teacher and students before and after the prototype lesson. The results showed a noticed increase in students' participation, attention, creativity, and positive attitude.
