REX - Therapy Dog.

REX - KDC Therapy Dog

KDC we are trying a new idea of having a dog at school on occasions to help in Well being and Integration. There is research that shows that having animals in schools, helps to make students feel less anxious and makes it easier for them to talk and express their feelings.

Rex is a small brown poodle, who belongs to Emma Ford, our MIPS Officer. Rex is very gentle and bright, is non-allergenic and likes people. When Rex is "on duty" he will be wearing his blue KDC coat. He has an official timetable but will not be coming into general classes. We are trialing having Rex at school for a few days over the next couple of weeks.
