Dr. Sadie Hollins - Head of 6th Form and Wellbeing blogger - Chiang Mai
Dr. Sadie Hollins is the Head of the 6th form at Lanna international school, Chiang Mai, as well as being founder and blogger of the brilliant WISEducation. Having started the site’s online magazine in the middle of last year, Sadie has now overseen 4 consistently compelling editions that offer advice on all things Wellbeing-within-International-School-Education
We discuss:
An introduction to her career to date
one or two articles from the magazine that have challenged Sadie’s preconceptions
The need for international schools to offer ‘holistic development’ of the students and staff
how different cultures see mental health with regard to South East Asia
How to establish a wellbeing policy in new schools, or if one is currently lacking
practical methods of evaluating the success or prevalence of a wellbeing culture in an educational institution
And finally, recommendations or simple strategies for students’ and teachers’ wellbeing that can be implemented in the short term
Thanks again to Sadie who raised some really important talking points that perhaps don’t get discussed enough in schools by staff or students respectively. Everything we mention in the podcast as well as the magazine itself can be reached in the show notes below.
