Susan Andrews
My name is Susan Kyne Andrews and I am a secondary school teacher for almost three decades. My path in education has led me to curriculum design with a focus on wellbeing and philosophy. As a wellbeing coordinator at Temple Carrig School in Greystones for a number of years I have introduced a variety of whole school initatives to promote positive mental health and wellbeing.
When the Elephant in the Room movement invited me to join their new schools program, I was thrilled. Together, we’re developing:
- Comprehensive support materials for wellbeing workshops
- Ready-to-use lesson plans that teachers can adapt to their own school communities
- Step-by-step guides for launching and sustaining wellbeing initiatives around your elephant
My role is to advise and collaborate with schools year-round, offering personalised guidance as they integrate the Elephant in the Room approach into their curriculum.
How I Can Help Your School
I am here to partner with your wellbeing leadership team to:

Support your wellbeing team to integrate a ready-made workshop or lesson to existing SPHE, CSPE, Wellbeing classes
Provide strategies to make the learning visible around the school to promote positive mental health

Whether you’re just starting or looking to enhance existing wellbeing programmes, I’ll work alongside you every step of the way.
