Imagine what you could achieve with a real solution to social & emotional learning

The journey from childhood to adulthood is one of the most profound and challenging times in life—not just for young people, but for their families, parents, and everyone within the school community. It’s a time when every choice, every moment of guidance, can shape the future. Mental health struggles, identity exploration, and social pressures can feel like huge hurdles. But what if, together, we could turn these challenges into stepping stones for growth?

At AdventureWorks WA, we believe that by coming together, we can create real change. Our SEL programs go beyond just addressing problems—they open up a new way of thinking, living, and thriving for students, teachers, and parents alike. We’re here to transform this critical phase of life into a journey of discovery, strength, and resilience.

Unite the whole school in guiding youth to greatness with our Social & Emotional Learning programs

Imagine a school where every young person understands their emotions, builds meaningful relationships, and makes decisions that lead them toward a fulfilling life. Where every parent feels empowered to support their child’s emotional growth at home and every teacher is part of something bigger—a movement that transforms lives. With the right tools, they create classrooms where students don’t just learn, but thrive, growing into their full potential.

At AdventureWorks WA, this is the future we’re building. Backed by extensive research and rooted in the CASEL framework, our SEL programs go beyond the basics.

"AdventureWorks’ professionalism and collaborative nature have seen us work together to develop a model that works especially for our College ... and our context. What initially began as a program for Year 9 students is now developing over several year groups to create a cohesive and continuous program. Adventure Works’ programs are practical and experiential, allowing students to learn and develop through discussion, real life experiences and reflection. Their facilitators are very well trained, and adept at talking to young people at their own level. They create atmospheres and environments that are safe and comfortable for students – both physically and emotionally. One of their biggest assets is their willingness to evaluate and discuss openly the process and programs they implement – they are constantly looking for ways to further improve and develop what are already amazing programs."

For teachers

Teacher Training (Continuing Professional Development):

We know how tough it is for teachers right now. Many of you are feeling overwhelmed, and even leaving the profession as the education model changes. But imagine a future where teachers like you can reignite your passion for teaching—where you feel truly supported and part of a team.

Our face-to-face and online workshops equip you with the skills to support social and emotional learning and guide students through Rites of Passage. We focus on building a strong community of educators who share ideas and work together, creating a supportive network that enhances the impact of our programs. Together, we can connect teachers, parents, and the entire school community to give young people an even better experience than we had ourselves.

They swapped "scar" stories, embraced challenges with great safety, support, encouragement and training. Just love what you are doing for this generation of kids. By reconnecting with nature and each other, they are discovering so much about themselves."

"As discussed earlier in the year, my son was hesitant and reluctant to attend.
