Wellbeing

We have had a great start to Term Three and students have enjoyed sharing their holiday exploits. Many students are already demonstrating our Term Three focus of commitment and pursuing their personal best, and already we have many students on the list to receive their 100 token badge at assembly.

Below are the weekly focuses for this term.

Student Wellbeing Protective Behaviours Program

Over the next few weeks all year levels will be conducting sessions regarding protective behaviours and how students keep their bodies safe. Statistics regarding unwanted sexual activity in children are a concern, and as such we believe all children need to be empowered to be able to talk about their bodies and follow the mantra, “We all have the right to be safe and feel safe all of the time”. Sessions will cover topics such as saying no, identifying body early warning signs, types of secrets, consent, and establishing a safety network. More detailed information regarding the lessons will come out in fortnightly parent emails. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or myself at any time.
