Dungay Public School is involved with the You Can Do It! program.
The You Can Do It! Education's main purpose is to support communities, schools,and homes in a collective effort to optimise the social, emotional, and academic outcomes of all young people.
Its unique contribution is in identifying the social and emotional capabilities that all young people need to acquire in order to be successful in school, experience wellbeing, and have positive relationships including making contributions to others and the community (good citizenship).
YCDI's mission is to realise, through the following beliefs and actions:
- The building of social, emotional, and motivational capacity of young people rather than on their problems and deficits.
- The encouragement of prevention, promotion, and intervention efforts (school, home and community) in order to build the social and emotional strengths of young people.
- The development of a strength-building approach, where YCDI seeks to build the capabilities of adults (community, school, home) associated with positive outcomes in young people.
