Becoming a Body Bright School.
We know that the foundations for body image are formed during childhood. We also know that many primary schools and teachers are keen to promote a positive body image in their students but aren’t quite sure how to do it in a safe and effective way.

How do we become a Body Bright School?
Your primary school will have flexibility to implement Butterfly Body Bright in the way that works for your school community.
If you want to be acknowledged as a Body Bright School and receive a digital badge, there are some minimum requirements, which include:
Staff Training: Ensure a minimum of six staff complete the online staff training (this can be teaching and non-teaching staff but must include the Body Bright Lead).
School Culture Guidelines: Implement three strategies from the School Culture Guidelines.
Curriculum: Staff who complete the online staff training to deliver the BRAVE lesson to their students, as a minimum.
Family Resources: Share the link to the Body Bright Families webpage.
Body Bright Schools are requested to report their activities back to the Butterfly Body Bright team, and those who achieve the minimum requirements will be acknowledged on the website as well as receive a Body Bright digital badge to use within their school communication channels.
Obviously, the more you can do, the greater the impact on your students and your school community.
But, we appreciate the challenges within school infrastructure,
