Student Wellbeing

Term 4

I can hardly believe we are so close to the end of the year! Unfortunately, this can cause a lot of uncertainty for our children: transition to new classes is discussed, routines are changed due to incursions, excursions, performances, etc, and even though we are facing a nice, long Christmas break, this can cause anxiety for our students.  

At home there may be more socialising, later nights and perhaps more treat food. Traditionally, this is a tricky time for children to navigate through and this year we have our added COVID experiences. Our children may need extra help to regulate their emotions during this time and perhaps cope with disappointments. 

Many of our Concord School students are supported by utilising the Zones of Regulation.  The Zones of Regulation provides a common language and compassionate framework to support positive mental health and skill development.  Families can use these strategies at home to support children in increasing their social and emotional literacy, as well as their skills of self-regulation.
