Dr Robinson has received international acclaim as an author, psychologist and public speaker, and said the program will teach students vital well-being and resilience skills.

"The program will emphasise that there's more to bringing a child up than encouraging them to perform well academically," she said.

"As the old saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child, and I want to help the college enhance their overall well-being."

"We want to help insulate students against anxiety, stress and depression through an evidence-based approach towards improving student well-being."

The college will host a Positive Education conference in 2020, featuring a panel of international experts.
