Of Us

You bring more
than your role.

Of Us is about belonging, wellbeing and who you are beyond a role. It makes room for identity, friendship and care in school, campus and community life.

A Next of Us belonging and wellbeing initiative

The person beyond the title

Your interests, relationships and everyday life matter. Of Us makes room for people to know you beyond your grades, your position or what you do for a group.

More Than My Role

What makes
you, you?

More Than My Role asks: What’s something about you that has nothing to do with being good at school, work or leadership? Draw it, write a few words or just think about it. You don’t have to share your answer.

1

Something I enjoy.

2

Something that matters to me.

3

A place or person that helps me feel welcome.

Belonging has no single setting

A place to belong.
At every stage.

Different parts of life. The same room to be yourself.

Care in how people take part

Room to speak.
Room to pass.

You should be able to speak, write, make something or pass. You don’t owe anyone a personal story to belong. Of Us supports accessible formats, quieter ways to join in and respect for what people want to keep private.

Of Us is for school, campus and community life, whether you’re considering a role, already leading or taking a step back.

Bring your whole self.
