“It’s about becoming a young person who’s aware of themselves and the world and starting to think about what they do with that.”

My guest on the show today is Paul Tupou-Vea (@paultupz). Paul is an expert in youth wellbeing and currently leads the personal and social curriculum at Dilworth School’s Rural Campus in South Auckland. Before his 7 years at Dilworth, Paul created, managed and facilitated the Males in Education Programme, an AUT University initiative for year 10 boys in Auckland schools.

This year, Paul founded Clifftop Wellbeing, a company that develops and delivers wellbeing, leadership and engagement programmes for schools and other organisations. He is also studying towards his Masters in Positive Psychology.
