YCDI

In Term Three, the level three students continue to utilise the YCDI Keys to Success to learn a variety of Social and Emotional skills, as well as deepen their understanding of our School’s values of Respect, Integrity, Global Empathy and initiative. During Term Three, the level Three teachers collected feedback from students regarding aspects of their social and emotional abilities they wished to enhance. YCDI sessions will address these areas by employing engaging, experiential, and cooperative activities tailored to meet the needs of Level Three students. Our main emphasis for Term 3 will be on resolving conflicts and employing a Growth Mindset to develop effective strategies for navigating difficult social scenarios. 

To support your child at home, you may find the following tasks helpful:  

• Act out different social situations where conflicts may arise.
