Wellbeing

We will begin Term 2, reviewing the School Norms and the focus areas for learning will be Emotional Literacy and Help Seeking. 

For the topic Emotional Literacy, the students will describe how people, situations and events can impact on one’s emotions and how emotional responses can vary depending on the incident. They will also consider the range of emotions that may be experienced across the school day and how they can manage their emotions in various settings to ensure positive interactions with others.

Later in the term, we will explore the topic Help Seeking. Students will practise their communication skills through help-seeker scenarios learning how to seek support and help others. They will discuss the concept of peer support and develop an understanding of when it is appropriate to help or seek further support. They will learn to assess a problem and will have a bank of help seeking strategies to create a positive outcome. Finally, students will learn about strategies they can apply when they feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
