In the context of positive education, positive relationships are essential because “adolescent development does not occur in isolation” (Norrish, et al., 2013, p.154). Study after study has recognised the benefits of positive relationships on the overall well-being of students (Norrish, et al., 2013). In fact, when a student has healthy positive relationships at school, researchers have discovered at least three positive benefits that carry over to other areas in the life of that student: increased resiliency levels, increased physical health and increased student achievement (Norrish, et al., 2013). These positive effects, in turn, have the ability to reduce the challenges that stem from depression, hopelessness, anxiety and behavioural issues (Seligman, Ernst, Gillham, Reivich & Linkins, 2009).These positive effects also have the power to fight off loneliness which lies near the centre of such bona fide disorders as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and substance abuse
